Bmibaby
It is not the most stupid idea on earth. In the longer term, there are three companies vying for the same space in the market - Monarch, Jet2 and bmibaby - when there is probably only room for two. It would remove some duplication in the route networks at Birmingham and Manchester, put Monarch into EMA and CWL (it said it wanted to be in EMA, BRS and NCL so feasible that it could see benefit in an alternative) and equip Monarch with some smaller aircraft to keep frequency up during the shoulder and winter seasons.
The interesting point would be whether Monarch would want to blow its brains out on the baby domestic & short-haul services....

Great rumour going around the Monarch crewroom that we are buying you guys at baby. Made me laugh.

Yeh that is right, sorry if it wasn't very clear, ex G-THOP... (G-TOYN) will be painted in full livery, along with G-TOYH by the end of May as I've heard... don't hold your breath though!

Have to agree, more likely that babay will end up with Jet2 than Monarch, having said that i can't see bmi getting shot anytime soon. Baby seem to be in a catch 22 the question is who needs who most?
Will baby ever be given the green light to expand, do they need to?

Fully aware of that, the bun fight for desk space has already begun with IT moving downstairs at HH...

bmibaby
Rumours internally and now externally about an announcement from the bmi group expected soon. Could it be some good news such as the long awaited new aircraft at bmibaby or something totally in the other direction?
