Wont the bmi aircraft be gone by the fleet by the Winter or Later summer period anyway, G-TOYM and G-TOYI are now in the fleet, and G-TOYL is on the way, and so they won be needed when the season comes to a end... and with G-TOYN and G-TOYP and G-TOYR coming next year I doubt they will be needed then either.

Don't be too surprised to see the A321 back next summer. The loads and onboard sales have been fantastic and the whole Manchester based cabin crew have been trained on the A321 as well as the A319 so it would make sense.

Couldn't agree more, there is a buzz about baby at the minute, with good loads and lots of repeat business, of course winter is to come yet and who knows? one thing for sure baby can probably make more use of the seats on a 321 in summer than bmi so why not.
More news to come on this front i gather

Would Be Good to see An Airbus 321 in Full Baby Scheme
. As is Said above loads have been very good on the A321 Flights Out of Man. Revenue Man At Tiny town have been Selling the flights to full capacity for the A321. Thats why when one does go tech they have had to hire a bigger a/c IE The BY 767. As the 733 is to small being only 148 seats.

Winter 2008/9
Further to what I have posted on the Birmingham thread, I have checked
a few dates for all their bases and it seems BHX & Cardiff are the ones
to have suffered the cutbacks.
From their original release
BHX-ABZ - from 11 to 6 a week
BHX-MJV - 2 a week to just operating at Christmas/New Year
BHX-KRK - 2 a week to just operating at Christmas/New Year
BHX-WAW - 2 a week to just operating at Christmas/New Year
BHX-JER - Non ops at all from 28/9
BHX-FAO - from one a week to nil (not sure about Christmas)
Already known - FCO, LIS, MAD, BCN, NCE, BOD & MRS suspended
to February or end of March onwards.
EMA-PRG - 4 a week to none but EMA-WAW continues throughout
CWL-BFS I think 12 a week to 7 or 8 at times
CWL-WAW - 2 a week to Christmas/New Year
CWL MJV - 2 a week to none ops?
CWL-FAO 2 a week to one
MAN - No change spotted.
GLA-NOC still operating I believe from the BHX base.
Might be a couple of errors from trying to understanding various
notes I have made.
No problem with Warsaw airport as the EMA continues at three
a week at the moment.

Went Man-Pmi, Friday 7Nov, 7a.m. flight, aircraft cabin freezing, lots of hot drinks sold. Returned this evening 10 November, cabin hot, lots of cold drinks sold.
Do the crew regulate cabin temperature to suit in flight sales according to time of day,or was I just unlucky with the temperature settings.
Regards
Tower
PS. Aircraft going out was named Robin Hood Baby, Reg not noted. Return aircraft was I think G-TOYG. name not noted.

I believe the cabin temperature is controlled in the flight deck, i'm sure if you notified them it was too cold or too hot they may have adjusted it for you.
GOBMP - Robin Hood Baby
GTOYG - Butterly Baby

TOYL not coming. A/C never fully made it onto the UK register and it may well end up going back across the pond from Shannon under its present markings. Far too many reasons to explain why it didn't make it into the Baby fleet
Tower - next time have a quiet word with the Number One. I'm sure she could relay a message to the F/O to adjust the temperature. That's what he's there for
Du hast mir nicht gesehen, richtig...............

I agree with NST3, ask the CM (Cabin Manager) and it's just a quick 'ding' to the flight deck and the F/O can tweak the right pack temperature controller up a bit (or down) and you'll be sweating (or shivering) in no-time!
And for the dig about the F/O being there only to adjust the temperature, I am insulted!

Reading the article, you'd have thought it had seen service with Baby. Never really came close
