Excuse me but for some five years BHX was my most convenient international airport, I was a regular and I travelled regularly with the likes of AF, LH, KLM, SAS and Swiss and in five years the only delay I can recall incurring was one time when AMS had thunderstorms resulting in nothing less than chaos.
Are you trying to suggest that these legacy and quality carriers no longer operate to/from BHX and one needs to travel with a LCC or the modern day equivalent of the next best thing:

Never

I should try harder? ... I think you may have got your wires crossed somewhere along the line!
