CC, You mentioned a little while ago on BHX's needing extra runway length to stop it loosing out on long haul as it already has done with First Choice, Obviously going back a few years that was the given reason for FCA swapping to EMA, but nowadays it doesnt seem to be an issue for them as they have just recently announced BRS - SFB/VRA/POP, these 3 are all going via MAN for fuel and cargo to go on, in the same way i believe they used to when they operated long haul from BHX, maybe its the BHX pax being fussy and not wanting to go via anywhere(understandable given the size of the airport) but the pax from the BRS area are booking it up like theres no tomorrow, already the SFB looks like it may be coming back to Feb 07 instead of May 07 and rumour of twice a week, and POP service possibly coming back to Feb and operating weekly instead of fortnightly, I guess where FCA is concerned BHX loss has been EMA and BRS's gain,
