Just my tuppenceworth, Lufti will want to make bmi a profitable proposition. This will not involve farting about with places like LBA, MME, JER, BRU. I believe quite a number of slots will be sold with us concentrating on our more "solid" routes, probably cutting frequency on even these, alongside starting up any LH destinations they may want. The Embraers will leave LHR and IMHO we may see reduction in numbers not additions in the short term. Hopefully this can be achieved by natural wasteage but who knows. This Lufti deal may be something of a Curate's egg. Big company owns us now so better job security for those left once the cull is over.
