planeaddict I have to say BHX is not likely for Rouge. It's not even on the radar, they'd restart MAN long before they look at BHX again.
EDI got Rouge for two reasons, over GLA where AC flew for 17 years and PIK where they flew for about 50. EDI gave them a great deal and Edinburgh has a relatively good inbound tourist market and a higher profile than Glasgow.
The reason BHX doesn't have a daily summer transatlantic service to Canada is the market is dying out, literally. This was all discussed and covered qiute recently surely? Did you read it, on the Birmingham - 5 thread *cough*
Worldways also had the smaller DC8 as well at BHX.
