Why would you be surprised? Over recent years, bmi has operated dedicated charter a/c (A321) for Air2000, even to the extent of painting 'operated of behalf of..' on the fuselage. It makes perfect sense for the IT operators to run their own fleets below max. projected numbers and sub. out the rest. Indeed, let's hope they book 'em again
very soon.
As to bmibaby, despite the carping etc., here's wishing them the very best of success. It's not just good for them but for all of us. <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">
