If you're going to try to take the high moral ground, it's best to check your foundations first. Bmi operated INV-LHR from March 2004 to March 2008. The BMed acquisition IIRC was in March 2007. If you bothered to read the OP's posting he wasn't complaining about the size of the business class cabin (we understand that some mid-haul routes may have a larger business class share, thanks so much) but about the operational decision to pack the small number of passengers into a small number of rows.
