The mood in bmibaby is that the worst is behind them and no one is expecting anything untoward this November. The last few years have taken its toll on the staff in all departments and a lot of (good) pilots have fled the nest for sunnier climes which means baby will need to recruit for next Summer
In the mean time the deferred pay rise will go ahead next spring which will help erase the memories of the last few years of peering into the abyss around November time!!
With only 14 aircraft the scope for trying new routes is limited but rumours of IBZ & VRN persist, Summer phase 2 is now in the booking system and has GVA & PRG year round (from EMA) it will be interesting to see if CWL-MUC makes it?
Everyone is expecting growth to restart in 2012, it will be interesting to see how many additional aircraft are to be added and of course the additional airbus orders for LH will be freeing up their older 737 fleet by then and they have 50 of them!! so who knows? just need the French to stop striking, fat chance
