I think that the re-organisation of mainline out of LHR following the BMED merger might change how much charter capacity there is next summer for bmi. Charter is a very profitable part of the company, and has a product that a lot of people like, but with XL having their own order for more 737s and apparently a successful season with Air Malta, I'm not sure whether EMA will be a charter base next summer.

I'm interested to find out how the Q400 demonstrator did for regional and whether a second Embraer is coming, according to a memo to regional crews recently, the market is opening up for ERJs and regional are in the market, hopefully for EMA.
