BHX would definitely love 8 aircraft, but as far as I can see there's barely enough work for 2 aircraft at the moment, except on sundays.

I've red earlier in this thread that BHD is technically a nightstop for two aircraft? Anyone know how these schedules look like?

True for the moment where the crew HOTAC from EMA/BHX, although from Feb/Mar the plan is to have a full cabin crew base at BHD.

New Routes

EMA - CATANIA (Sicily) CTA - 1x Weekly
BHD - MAHON MAH - 2x Weekly

Other popular routes to places like ALC, PMI and AGP have also had extra flights added for the peak travel periods from EMA and BHX.

Chambery

Does anyone know what the EMA flight is planning to do in Chambery on Sundays? There is only the EMA route listed on the baby website, will they be doing a W pattern with a charter flight in the middle? (ema-cmf-lgw-cmf-ema...for example)

Timetable shows

EMA - CMF 07.25 - 10.15
CMF - EMA 16.25 - 17.20

Baby haven't been sold. Yet. For the sake of the people there, I hope it is, because if it isn't I have a horrible feeling that IAG will just close it down if they end up buying it as part of the BMI deal.

No he means BRS. They are operating on behalf of Ski Total holidays, so a charter and no direct flights will be bookable on bmibaby.com

Could Baby be just what Stelios needs to get his new Fastjet airline off the ground?
As long as he doesnt get the management team!

The bmi baby team are perfectly fine. With what they have been given, they've done a pretty decent job.

It's hard to judge really based on results, as they aren't really that clear because of the relationship with mainline, but the baby people all work as a team, seem to communicate well with eachother and are efficiency personified when compared to mainline. There's a nice atmosphere in the office too, which always bodes well.

Compared to some of the ego maniacs and simply horrid individuals who often populate airline management, the baby upper echelons are a million miles from that. So I don't really think it's fair to have a go at them at all.

Who would you rather work for. Ryanair or Baby?
If the latest rumours come true, then unfortunately the baby people might find out what RYR is like first hand...

You know its not too bad at Ryanair if you come in and do the job your paid to do, and if your on a Ryanair contract the money is good. EMA crew are happy, we have a great base manager. Wish you all the best at Baby anyway.

Trouble is new pilots don't get the chance of a RYR contract, you have to be a contractor (although a few bases did have the chance for some pilots to apply for a contract recently).
