BMI Baby winter 2007/8

AS BHX had some changes (EDI 5 down to 3 a day & BCN 7 - 6 a week)
I decided to check the other basis as well.

Cardiff I could not tell but the aircraft utilisation is still bad with an aircraft
on the deck 3 hours in the day mid week. However Manchester has gone
from 4 based units to 3.

The original winter schedule required about 3 plus a one other at times
but the schedule has tightened to three based (in the week at least).

It also includes a very Ryanair type schedule for one aircraft on a Friday:

0700 BFS 0945
1015 JER 1330
1400 NOC 1700
1730 BFS 1955
2025 ORK 2330

Yep 10 sector day!

Winter is now

7 BHX (with aircraft 7 one flight most days)
3 CWL (with one aircraft doing 4 sectors some days)
5 EMA (although I have not checked the schedule for weeks)
3 MAN (mainly busy all week when Geneva starts)

3 aircraft on maintenance or are these the 3 x 500's which are going?
