DTV Airport - I do remember indeed, its odd because on the face of it BA which has adopted the opposite to BMI (low-cost model in the regions, full fares and service at LHR/LGW) appears to be working, so much so that GB Airways is now going to be re-branded BA Connect in the regions. I think BMI have missed the point of the "premium" status LHR has - i wonder if BMI had adopted a similar strategy to BA, the Pax on LHR-MME would not have dropped and the thought of this service going would not even be considered. I remember full pax flights to MME on BMI and people paying £200+ for Business Class tickets. Last time i flew i actually went from LGW on Baby, there were at most 60-70 of us on board and we landed at the same time as the LHR BMI and that had similar numbers, so it would seem both routes are a bit diluted.
