I can see why BA would be put off MANBHD now that bmi is dropping its baby on to the route, but it isn't BA's usual style to pull off when competition surfaces.
Plus they announced their expansion plans for MAN not too long ago with PSA, VIE, BLQ and increased freq to FCO, HAJ etc, so for them to retract MAN flying now would also be strange. The MANBHD route won't just be on one aircraft either so if they do pull those services, other flights will probably have to be pulled too!
flybe haven't given easy much competition either. With bmi pulling off LHRBFS, there could have been a chance that easy would have taken a chunk of their traffic rather than pull from flybe.....
Saw that easy did crap in their first couple of weeks though on LGWBFS with loads around 30%!!!!!! Isn't the saying, start as you mean to go on...........
