There is a possibilty the route could be flown by WW, as Valencia has been a rumoured new destination for them, but mainline BD is doubtful, unless operated as a charter, which again is also highly unlikely.

Are bmi basing an aircraft at EMA for S10 operating flights for Goldtrail, Flights are available with goldtrail and give a flight time and number etc... to Corfu, Heraklion, Zante, Rhodes and Kos, will this be a A320 or A321 if true, as bmi will also be operating charters for TCX in July - September 2010 as this year, so will have 2 bmi's as well as Jet2 and Viking operating W patterns??

I think you'll find that the Goldtrail flights program will actually be operated by Viking. A lot of tour operators will publish last years flying program or even fairly spurious information in first edition brochures as often full info for the subsequent summers flights is not available at time of going to press.
The routes on sale by Goldtrail and those to be operated by Viking are identical...so I strongly suspect this answers the question.

Lufthansa axe two BMI directors
Taken from UK-airport news info:
Weren't these the characters that were responsible for the demise of Maersk/Duo a few years ago? MB was certainly responsible for all the confrontation with BA cabin crew back in the late 90's
Lufthansa have begun a management shake-up at new subsidiary BMI with the departure of two senior executives, the Times reports. Peter Spencer, managing director of BMI Mainline, the division that includes all flights out of Heathrow, and Martyn Bridger, the division’s commercial director, are leaving.

Could i just ask, what A/c operates the Charters to SSH from MAN. I thought it would be a A330 but that would take it out for a full day. Then i thought about the A319/20 but will they even make it?

From the top of my head:
MON: A330/A300
TOM/FCA: B767/B757
VIK: B738
TCX/MYT: B757
If you are after comfort then there is only one choice: TOM.
P.S. The A321 can make it to SSH on it's own steam non stop but I would guess there maybe more weight restrictions in certain weather conditions. Also, please note: the A319 has the furthest range of any of the A320 series standard aircraft. It is A319, A320 and finally the A321 - I don't know where the A318 fits in!
