am sure BMI Regional base is largely just to service LHR which ive seen something on the BMI thread about its going all embraer (long gone are the days of 5 flights per day on DC9/737 - or even three full flights per day at sensible times on an airbus - a route - which someone once told me a few yrs back was BMI's most profitable at the time - when they were just UK and Europe, slowly killed off ) anyway - if they for example base and EMB here and operate the three frequencies per day to LHR there are still very large gaps when its sitting around - depends if they sit it around at LHR and fly it to somewhere else, or sit it around here and erm probably park it for large chunks of the day!! - however i am sure if could pop to Jersey...or Belfast.....or Paris and not park it...operate it from LHR to somewhere ...or ..try to knock out Eastern on the ABZ

Also
I might have dreamt it - but am sure i saw something on a IOM/Manx2 thread last week about MME - was i dreaming, does anyone know if we may get a new route
