I agree with you, that's quite a good point. In fairness it may be that any MAN-FRA shuttle type ends up being operated by bmi anyway. Lufthansa have been very good for focussing bmi and there is a renewed sense of purpose about the firm.
Even the return of the words "British Midland International" in the cabin PA and website branding have been a good idea I think.
Incidentally the reason I reckon T3 for Cathay is that they're ONEWORLD and ideally might join BA and AA under the same roof. However to be fair, a B777-300ER is a better fit for T2 which already has a kink in Taxiway D on the South side when they realised they might have to park the A340-600 at some point and the stands were only marked for the B747! It's really noticeable at night when the green taxiway lights veer away half way down the Terminal....
