Business traveller - agreed having FR as your growth carrier is not really reaching for the sky. But at present that seems to be where growth in terms of pax at regional airports comes from, like it or not. EDI would suffer if there was any kind of spat with FR. But so would BHX, IMO even more so. The fact that the FR base at BHX in terms of numbers of flights and estinations has contracted by a third (I seem to remember this figure from another poster) would indicate to me that it's maybe not a complete fall out but the relationship between BHX and FR must be frosty to say the least. Where would BHX be if FR did pull out? In a much worse position than EDI would be, who at least have EZY and LS to rely on. And remember EDI have overtaken BHX in pax figures even with the loss of Globespan, their once major based loco.
