Most of babys flights are leisure are they?
Yes and dont even mention AMS, I can assure you, here from CWL atleast bussiness/connections PAX use KLM and most lesuire PAX (not all due to bad timings) use WW, WW not always being cheaper than KLM. Look at there main routes AGP, PMI, ALC, FAO, etc are mostly lesuire PAX.

This 4th aircraft also, I know it was originally planned for CWL but in typical WW style they are owwing and arrring about it, does anyone know when an announcement is to be made?

So you actually like flying knackered 737 classics? Complete with broken seats and tatty interiors?
Well not really ofcourse, none of there seats do match and they have more shades than a paint factory, but I do like their service, there uniforms arent to bad. I actually enjoy the crew mind and think they are quite freindly.
his is an airline that I fly because I have to, and it is a shame because mainline BMI is a pleasure.
1) easyJet / bmibaby merger unlikely to happen. Why would easyJet want to take on our cost base, ageing 737s considering most of them are ex-EZY which they wanted to retire, bases at airports which are already close to EZY ones and deal with all the stresses of a merger when organic growth is easier?
Why are people so fixated on fleets when airlines merge, look how many A319 EZY has on order and none of their bases are shared except EMA but they live happily together and would give EZY the upper hand over RYR, although some are close like CWL/BRS etc. Organic growth, more like static growth with SMB, no continental European bases and the number of UK ones have gone down with the loss of DTV.
