BMIr are doing some of the bmi flights out of LHR as they dont have the capacity to do it. Have a look at the BMIr thread and its all talk about a flybe takeover. Now do you think luffty will allow those precious slots at LHR be used by a subsidiary that they may not even be interested in? It was just a question which I'm looking for an answer for so do you know what your talking about mate??
