Munich

Not heard anything and although there would be a cost saving on the night-stopping crews it would be a hefty increase in the number of seats.

BHX is currently 2 x 116-seat 195's and 1 x 86 seat CRJ900. The A319 is
max 138 seats I believe with the new slim seats and that is probably a bit excessive for BHX at present.

Frankfurt was slightly different as the A320 was helped by flybe pulling their flights although this was after the BMI A320 arriving.

Munich did briefly go 3 x 195 and the load factor remained constant at about 75% but it didn't last. Whether this was due to poor yields or aircraft availability I don't know.
