When Easyjet announced a MAN base they put a 5 year plan (which I might say they are sticking to) and they do not expand at the same pace as Ryanair and don`t pull the plug so quickly either, so I would expect if they are going to start BHX it would probably be next summer or possibly winter 2010/11 .with perhaps 1 aircraft and probably longish haul flights like MAN so as not to hit their EMA operation
