That's RIGHT. Move 'em back to EMA where they belong. And while we're at it, get QF (Queensland and Northern Territorial Aerial Services) to retrench to Brisbane and Darwin

I'm not sure what the total number of bmi regional employees is, but there are about 170 pilots, I'm guessing about 150 cabin crew. There are also office staff in Aberdeen and an engineering base there, but many of the other admin and support functions are carried out collectively for the bmi group so it's hard to be exact. My estimate for bmi regional staff would be around 500 but I could be out by about 100 either way...

Western Isle jets axed
A six-day air service to the Western Isles is to be scrapped because not enough people are using it.
Bmi regional provides the only jet- engined aircraft on a route linking Stornoway with Edinburgh.
It said the service, launched less than four years ago, was not economically viable and would stop on 29 July.
Fewer than 17,000 people-a-year are believed to have been using the service, which is served by a 50-seat jet aircraft.
In a statement, bmi regional said: "Despite offering very low fares, insufficient passenger volumes combined with increasing fuel costs means that this route is no longer viable.

Cheaper for me to fly to New York tommorrow than to visit my mum in the Western Isles .. no such thing as a cheap flight form LHR to SYY unless you book light years in advance !!!.. however the competition with BA/Loganair made it marginally cheaper than normal. Sad to see you go BMI
