Re: Star Alliance flights in-out of UK
--about bloomin' time! - The company line in the past has been that we can't operate between 'x' & 'y' either because they don't think they can make a profit, or because of an existing Star carrier on the route. Well, times are tough; I've just seen a lot of good guys forced out with the threat of redundancy if they didn't jump. Pretty much every Star carrier in europe comes into LHR; it's about time bmi put themselves on more of those routes to bring some revenue our way, not just to let the routes be served from the 'other end'. We're probably the cheapest labour now if a comparison was made. (not that I'm proud of that)
