A-ha! You've hit the nail on the head there. We are/were a BMI Group (at least that's what my payslip says). However it's all distinctly separate at times (integration into BA), yet intricately intertwined at others (payroll, HR, etc).
I haven't heard much shouting from mainline pilots to integrate flight deck from baby as well. With regular announcements in the press about other airlines taking on baby routes, and that baby is to be shut down (forget that it is still technically one of the options out there), there's not much to be positive about.
So much for being part of a 'Group'.
