Flypuppy;
Its WW who said he wanted to buy BMI so ask him....... but, you are right about Donington Hall. The cost to the airline must be enormous. Unlike with Austrian though, Lufty are not interested in fully integrating BMI and seem to want to keep us as stand-alone so we appear to be stuck with it.
But slimming down and streamlining that dinosaur as much as possible through better IT implementation has to be an absolute priority.
