very ironic that BD is called British Midlands, but does not operate from midlands airport....
Baby have retreated to BHX & EMA + BHD
Or that BA no longer have any kind of hub operation outside London (don't count Openskies). Or that Virgin Atlantic don't just fly across the Atlantic. Or QANTAS fly beyond Queensland & the Northern Territories.
Airline chop and change all the time. SOE - I agree that LHR is an improved experience, and a BHX feeder a total non-starter.
