Maybe that they are second best in something else?!?!??!
Seeing as they are liking to advertise the fact they are second favourite at the moment, lets go tell everyone we are second in something instead of advertsing something that we are best at!!!!!

Ah Ha!
I agree with the above, however, not so much more mid-haul but a change of mid haul. Now SVX and ESB have gone, plus the spare 320s ATW refers to [due Emb at LHR], capacity is available. I suspect though it will be within the normal range of the 320 [as opposed to tech stopping] as the two sector strategy did not work that well for BMED and by all accounts is not brilliant for BMI. It does serve a purpose on some routes but is not ideal by any means. I quite fancy the Russian market myself..............St. Petersberg maybe, DME is doing well. I hope they are hedging the fuel now though before OPEC cuts capacity! Sorry thread creep there. Who knows, not I......

Friday
ATW press piece is mostly re-hashed from the last company announcement re capacity reduction
Only two 'big' options that spring to mind are (a) 330s out of MAN or (b) zee Germans are a-coming - both discussed at great length on umpteen threads. Other options/opinions would be interesting. Guess we'll just have to wait til Friday when the fuellers/caterers/baggage handlers tell us
Right, I'll get me coat...............

Meeting cancelled
So who knows what now?
330's move to LHR and operate mid haul routes where the competition has better a/c?
Wet/damp lease Chicago, bye bye Caribbean.
Surely the credit crunch will hit the L/H leisure routes out of MAN so better to move them to where they will sell lots of seats.

After previous "big announcements" by Virgin Atlantic and Easy Jet turned out to be wet farts I find myself overcome with. . . . . . . . total apathy actually, can't see much excuse for an alternative mind set.

I know what it is.......they are pulling there longhaul operation out of MAN and moving it all down to LHR. Thought it was general knowledge.
Cabin crews will be doing a mixture of long and shorthaul ex LHR.

Come to think of it, who announces that there will be a big announcement pending? Is it an announcement or is it a rumour? Maybe announcing a big announcement is a big announcement by itself. There must be a lot of preparation behind the scenes before anyone can announce a big announcement. Also care must be taken that no-one will leak information about the announcement, or the announcement will be discarded as a rumour.
Bloody hell, there's a lot to think about here...
