The scope clause (which for those outside of bmi attempts, largely unsuccessfully, to limit the number of non-mainline aircraft that operate at LHR) is irrelevant, any route that can only support an EMB145 will be stopped and the slot either sold or used for something more useful. The very fact that such small aircraft are operating for us at LHR is a classic example of the failure of the company to attract passengers and compete on routes where we have quality competition and the "slot husbandry" that has characterised the last 5-6 years at bmi.
