It sure is, which is the only bit of good news to come out of Luton the last few days or another couple of UK airlines would be in trouble! A Virgin 787 in BHX plus all the Flybe work that is done by MAEL. I'd guess now their main customer at MAN and BHX is Flybe, the aircraft (and TUPE'd engineers) most of the original Monarchists couldn't stand.
