Much of Ryanairs volume was discounted fares, having said that the volume through all of baby's bases into BHD will make a big impact on BHD numbers without doubt.
It will also reduce the groups cost base and i would expect to see regional services pitch up in due course, flybe cannot hope to compete with the dash on this route.
So who will back fill BFS, well LS could do BFS-EMA but its well know loads were crap for baby when Ryanair were on the route 30-50 most days at very low ticket prices
This should illustrate to all the doomsayers that bmi and baby are back in business to stay with LH clout behind them
