Well, since bmi now offers no advantage for travellers "down the back" in comparison with easy etc and BHD is restricted by ops hours by the North Down lot, I would assume that peoples priorities have shifted from "less convenient but better service" to "same service but later flights"!
As a company we are now sending everyone easy, bmibaby or Flybe - bmi is only a last resort. Not because we are cheapskates, but our staff now prefer the later flights avialable to/from BFS as it makes a business day worthwhile and bmi offers no advantage cabin wise.
EMB is certainly a big reduction over a A319 (50 vs 124). I remember flying in mostly empty BA A319's before BA pulled the plug on BFS-LHR as it was "no longer economic".....
