In a talk that took place recently it was stated by Richard Hill, look it up if you don't know who he is, that the Fokkers and the Saabs do not make any money, and are therefore being sold / decomissioned asap. The BMC fleet will be made up of ERJ 135's and 145's.
At present there are no plans to put the cadets through BMC before mainline. If you think about it it does not make sense for bmi to do it.
There are several reasons why the subject was talked about in the crew room as stated although it is not really my business to say why, or yo disagree with Fast Crusier who i dare say is a bmi cadet at EGTK
