Is there a major cost difference for airlines in using one terminal over the other? I certainly doubt we'd see bmibaby there anyway, despite us having a large poster in T2 saying something along the lines of us "now playing with the big boys"
Unless there is an overall reduction of a/c for the combined flybe/bacon I can't see T2 being able to cope with the LH nightstops as well. I think that the increased volume for slot 1 departures would be more than the central search area could take and I'm not sure NCP could cope with the increased bussing requirement either.
