The integration of bmi and / or any susequent "BA Express"type lower cost set up that might arise in the future is no more than a convenient smokescreen to get the T & Cs changes pushed through quickly and quietly on the cheap.
Does anyone really believe that if BA can increase their profits costs by setting up a new lower cost operation for the short haul network they will think twice about doing so ?.
The bmi buyout has come just at the right time to force through these T & Cs cost cuts, once they have been changed for the worse the excuses will be rolled out as to why it is still neccessary to set up a "BA Express".
