Cancellation of all Long Haul from MAN
Intergration of baby into mainline / sell off of baby?
More expansion in former Soviet states / Carribean from LHR
Buyout by LH / VS
Who knows, rumours abound for years!

Not sure how a LGW base would work. I presume some kind of slot swap would be on the cards, with bmi using MAN 330's to operate the Caribbean and Orlando routes? Reduction in routes to Mainland Europe and transfer of popular middle east near asian routes - with better connections to *hubs. Maybe a 20 strong fleet.

Hopefully he won't be in charge much longer, as the ABN Amro analyst mentioned in a recent Daily Telegraph article, the biggest thing in UK aviation this year should be the change in ownership of bmi.
BMI Baby to use Airbus?
My good lady has just been rostered an Airbus conversion course at the start of May - she is cabin crew for Baby on 733/5 equipment at the moment. Wondered if this was going to be extra capacity "borrowed" from mainline or a standalone operation?

Does anyone know what routes it will be operating on and when it is going to be used up until because as far as i know it is being used until another 733 enters the fleet late summer and is covering for them up until then.
Thanks

On the same theme.
I believe a further 733 arrives in May. Where will this be based. I don't think it is MAN because that is why the A321 is at MAN to cover the Summer period until late August when the 2nd 733 is supposed to arrive. 4 A/C are required for summer.
The A321 goes back to Mainline so I understand when this 2nd 733 arrives late summer. There will then be 4 733's at MAN.
Where is the A/C to come from to operate the BCN route when it starts in September because the 4 733's are still for all intents and purposes still fully committed with the existing routes. I know the NQY's are dropped on Tuesday and Wednesday in late August and the ORK on those days retimed about the same time but that will not free up anything for BCN which are on different days.

The extra May 733 is due at BHX (well not that particularly aircraft
) around the 25th and will be the 8th based, exactly the same amount as last summer.

Mactor.
I certainly hope you're not doing the BHD in May, we don't go there!! BFS perhaps?
Sorry about that, couldn't resist. I'll see you in the crewroom and buy you a coffee from spar
