easyjet/ryanair
Balair
Interesting stuff and certainly Ryanair have it far too cushy at BHX at the moment, they don't need to push it at all.

Can agree with most of what you say but a bit harsh on easyjet GVA/GNB.
GNB has never been more than two weekly and it appears they might have seen Ryanair off the route (not yet bookable but early days).
Geneva I don't think has been more than 11-12 weekly at BHX and it was 10 last winter (Tuesday was released but never operated) and it is 10 weekly next winter with Tuesday back and one of the Friday rotations chopped.
Do you mean what they used to operate from the Midlands, as it is true BHX never gained any GVA rotations after the East Mids base closure. It is BMI Baby that have reduced BHX-GVA from near daily to just weekends.
The way easy have built the Manchester routes you can see why there is a bit of green-eye. It has been amazing and I would say even eye-opening with them going head-to-head on Munich, Copenhagen and Helsinki in competition with the full service operators (not that BHX would want that on CPH or MUC).
