If bmi do give up BHD-LHR aer lingus would have to step in, or if not the government would have to get down on thier knees and beg Willie Walsh
Why on earth would the government do that?
As for business lounges AerLingus don't operate a business class in Europe these days so a BFS LHR rotation wouldn't require one...and BFS is open later ...all the reasons I gave for a reduction in BMI's figures
