When any of Jet2/Vueling/Norwegian turn up at BHX its going to destroy yields for Monarch
Having trouble following your logic here. Perhaps I'm thick, but what make you think that any of the above is likely to muscle in on BHX? If Jet2 did, then surely their largely antique fleet of 737s isn't as efficient as Monarch's 320/321 fleet, and Vueling have no interest (presently) in serving anywhere else other than Spain.

In point of fact there is scope for more bucket and spade seats from BHX without severely damaging yields from BHX - however, increased capacity at BHX may damage yields at EMA - where Jet2 and Monarch already operate from, and could well be a factor warding off competition from Jet2.

I wonder if a deal has been done tho to keep these other airlines at bay? Hence a nice shiny Engineering base at BHX
I think you'll find that EU competition rules wouldn't allow such deals, even if BHX were inclined to offer them - which I doubt.
