The only reason BMI Baby have survived anywhere is by reducing the fleet by almost a 3rd of the last two years. They have always tried to serve business and holiday travelers, and fallen short on both counts by having flights at odd and inconvenient times. Quite how they managed to keep going is a mystery to me. each of the 3 companies in the group claimed to be the one that was making all the money that kept the other two afloat, but as soon as Sir Michael announced he was cashing in his shares and retiring BMI Baby laid off a load of crew, cancelled routes and handed back several aeroplanes. The company is unfocussed, has low standards of customer care and service, both on the ground and in the air, and if any other airline wanted to push it off any of it's routes could do so overnight.
