Apologies, where I first read the information it states A320 'Family' aircraft.
I believe that A319 G-DBCB will be BHX based as it already has LH interiors. The HAM/DRS routes this A/C currently operates on will return to being LH operated.
A320 G-MIDS is currently undergoing MX in SNN before being refitted with LH interiors for the MAN operation.

Transfer from BHX - EMA. can be done by train and bus.
From BHX to Birmingham New Street, change trains for Derby and at Derby catch the airport bus from the station.
On National Express Coach it looks as though it routes via Coventry with 60 mins. waiting at Coventry.

Armavia
Here we go again all bookable from 10/03/2011 in at 09.15 out 11.40
and this time it actually connects both ways with the right destination!!!!
From another forum: -
According to the GDS, Effective 9th March 2011, Armavia will launch 2 weekly flights to ATQ from EVN
U8 319 EVN - ATQ 2030 0235+1 We
U8 319 EVN - ATQ 2130 0335+1 Th
U8 320 ATQ - EVN 0410 0800 Th
U8 320 ATQ - EVN 0510 0900 Fr
Aircraft: A319"
End of quote
So the Thursday out bound from EVN and early morning Thursday inbound
from ATQ connect to the BHX flight.
Lets hope that the necessary rights are in place for this to happen.

Thomson 2011 adjustments & Lufthansa
The Friday Enfidha which was cancelled a few weeks ago has now
been replaced by Ibiza, which is back to four weekly like previous
years (started at two for 2011).
One which bmiboyz might be interested in is the Sunday Larnaca
is back at 16.45 departure.
Now this is the exact same time as Enfidha but that to is still bookable.
Lufthansa
Winter 2011/12 the Dusseldorf is showing three daily Contactair FK100.
Frankfurt showing 2 x 190, 1 x 735 and 1 x 733 and no BMI but I assume
it is waiting to be updated.

Under the proposed deal with Turkish Airlines, which is yet to be approved by the government and regulators, PIA would relinquish some of its lucrative European and U.S. routes.

Contactair FK100
Glad to hear the BMI A319 will look just like an LH inside, thanks for that info. Airliners.net has a picture of the old interior, massive improvement from that. So LH is aware they have to respect their brand and product integrity, to keep their nice chunk of the long-haul market from BHX.
I guess no news yet on BE's response for FRA and/or DUS w.r.t. introducing E190 or E175. I think each time I boarded those, I heard mumbling like 'Oh, a turboprop, not so great' esp from the Germans.

Cabin Crewe:
They survive because they are high yield business orientated, generally point to point routes (particularly GOT, HAM and STR) where Ryanair economics don't prevail - thank heavens!

Waterford
To be fair Waterford has never been great and I have long predicted
that this is likely to go but it has survived. Although if that January
load factor is correct then it is a worry.
I didn't check many fares in January and certainly not Waterford but
when I have in the past they have been fairly low. However January
and early February is a hard time for most.
The one I am constantly disappointed with is Turkish and that is not
just January but they seem to be in for the long run.

Or you could believe the LH & BD website, which shows the last A319
flight on 6/5/2011 and from then until the end of summer it is down as
the A320.
This has been like this for well over a week but most seem to think that
this will eventually be updated to the A319 throughout the summer.
Winter is still showing 2 x Cityline 190's, 1 x LH 735 and 1 x LH 733!!!!
