Hmmmm, and you heard this on a Sunday afternoon from whom exactly....

I'm not too sure that Flybe are overly concerned with BMI, in either mainline or Baby terms. You only have to look at the financial situation of the airlines to see who is best positioned to come to the fight and I can't help but feel that, on this count, Flybe have the upper hand.
The only reason for passengers to choose BMI ahead of BA and Flybe would be the whole 'connection' issue at LHR. With Flybe not offering connections onto other airlines, and having not done so for some time (where BA have via LGW) I really don't think this can be used as a reason for Flybe's pending failure on the JERLGW route.
No, I think there may be some crossed wires here! Suggest we re-evaluate the facts and from whom we heard them!
