Is there nothing to be said for keeping the jobs in the UK? Try and support British groud handlers and airline staff? I'm not advocating BA or BMI here I'm just suggesting we try and hold onto what we have.
Skipness, Im all for keeping UK jobs, but bmi just frustrates me as they have never really had a clear commitment or path. Surely its better to have airlines and routes with clear directionality. LH have been consisten with serving their hubs, Qatar have been consistent, as have swiss, SAS and so on. But what about bmi?:
-Theyve changed the LHR route more times over the years than Ive had hot dinners
-The whole Tatl affair from MAN was a disaster
-have no clear 'Identity' at MAN. Regional to serve Lyon, Edinburgh and Aberdeen but then bmi baby to serve Belfast, Lisbon etc, then mainline for LHR?!?
-changed from british midland, to british midland international, then to bmi and now back to british midland international
Its just farcical really when you look at it.
