Please dont gang up on me guys....i just want to ask...On its own with no alliances etc how viable would bmi regional be as a stand alone airline?
No ganging up intended, but I've said this before, and I'll say it again. For a not unreasonable precedent regarding the fate of a small independent airline that devolves from a larger airline and develops its own brand using a fleet of thirsty regional jets, see
Duo.
IMHO, not as impossible as some would say, but very very risky.
