Virgin cc - i'm not sure how regularly you read the BHX Forum but you will find that call100 does not make wild or unsubstantiated claims about what is or isnt happening at BHX. As an regular on here I can tell you that if he states something it will have come from a concrete source (or as concrete as aviation sources get!). Which does indeed beg the question - how concrete is yours?
As for my own opinion I think that on the right routes (SXF, VCE, BUD, MAD, even ATH to name a but a few) an EZY base at BHX would be a great success although I would be surprised if it happened this year.
