The point is that they are owned by DLH for better or for worse, some on here just can't seem to get their heads around that idea?
No, I think the point is that bmi and bmibaby in particular are not successful, and how long will Lufthansa shareholders have patience with a company that generates more than a quarter of DLH group losses?
Do I take any enjoyment from this? None whatsoever. I have friends that work for various parts of the group and the impact on bmi failure would be deeply unpleasant. However there is a business reality that has to faced at some point.
bmibaby looks to be getting into a good position doing away with niche bases at CWL, MAN and focusing attention to the Midlands in BHX, EMA.
As someone earlier pointed out, if MAN is regarded as a niche base, the fundamental structure of the business is unsound. "Fortress Midlands" is scraping the bottom of the barrel and the very last roll of the dice.
