I think the Pax loss on LHR is a worry and the late night slot protector route into LHR wont add too many pax to this but, and by all means correct me if am wrong, isnt the current low cost LHR model in place to make profits rather than simply build up pax - isnt BMI pax nos for mainline down as a whole for all GB/Euro Routes out of LHR but profits are up?, although it would be interesting to know what their new breakeven is (in terms of pax) on this route (MME-LHR) - am guessing 49% is too light on nos. Despite all this I cant see the axeman a cometh for BMI at MME.
As well as the loss of pax at DTV has DTV lost its webmaster - bmibaby still has a link on the website and wizzair isnt listed under the contacts and some of the new routes arent showing on the map nor in their drop down route menu on timetables/destinations?
