AGPwallah I dare say that the advertising had been booked and paid for some time ago. the agency whose job it is to implement the adverts will continue to do so until their client tells them to stop.

It also seems bizarre to me that a company which already operates two airlines BA and Iberia, can take over two more airlines - bmi and bmibaby, and then tell bmibaby passengers they are cancelling their flights at short notice and they cannot be accommodated on any flights operated by BA, Iberia or bmi.
They CAN do that - because the 'Conditions of Carriage' (the small print) that every pax signs says that they can. Provided they give more than the correct amount of notice and give a full refund - that is the end of it.
It's called 'capitalism'.
