The problem with the ex-EasyJet Boeing 737-700s, is that these are in very high demand from airlines far more influential than bmibaby, as the waiting time for off-the-factory 737s is about two years. Gol, Southwest and Air Berlin, are amongst the low-cost airlines fighting to pick up these EZY aircraft once EasyJet get more A319s. The waiting time for an Airbus is a little less, but I think these aircraft are to be the exclusive domain of bmi mainline. One option being looked at is the Embraer E-Jet family after a successful promotional tour by an E-190 to EMA a few months ago, but whilst more efficient, it would take away significant capacity. As with all things bmibaby, I think it's just a case of wait and see.
