I have watched both the BMI forum and the airline itself for sometime with great interest. From my very basic understanding (I'm not very familiar with the ins and outs of BD), the airline operates a scattering of European short-hauls from Heathrow as well as some routes to Africa, the Middle East and Asia. They all seem to come and go a bit.
From an entirely outsider's point of view (no, I don't have an axe to grind and no, I don't want your tomatos), the airline seems to lack direction. Regional and Baby at least seem to have some sort of strategic purpose, but what is BMI mainline doing with itself?
What I'm really asking is what those people in Donington Hall think their business plan is - I see it debated whether they have one, but what do they perceive it to be?
