UK feed is not that important any more outside of MAN/EDI/ABZ what is important is the middle east market for oil and gas which bmi have a good number of routes, London is and will remain an international hub for many businesses in part because of our legal frame work and English language.
Some people need to adjust their mindset as to what bmi is about these days instead of thinking of the farce years under SMB & NT

It depends on how STN goes with WW, for many unless your interlining there is now little differance in travel times to London using the STN or LHR express and holding delays and tarmac delays are less at STN.
The airport fee's are much less at STN, if the WW service eats into LHR it will in the short term mean more ERJ's and higher prices on LHR-BHD, long term the slot cap at LHR will kill it unless it makes money.
