Safety of Summer schedules? :/
Hi all, I really want to log an ERJ but won't be able to travel until early July.
I'm looking at MAN-LHR with BMI Regional, the prices are good...but is it likely (I fear) that the aircraft will haved changed ie. BA/BMI A320 etc. by that date (c.July 2-6th?)
Any feedback would be much appreciated!

GLA-CPH
Seems the GLA EMB will be doing GLA-CPH-EDI-CPH-GLA on weekdays.
If EDI-LBA is ongoing, it's a bit of a strange decision as the GLA route has about double the Pax?

I don't really understand why they're making this decision/announcement a few days before the IAG deal goes through - I would've thought at this late stage that the course to follow would be to leave everything as is and then let IAG (or any subsequent new owner) make decisions on routes etc? The very short notice before the route ends perhaps suggests a last minute decision.

I am surprised the Leeds/Bradford services have lasted as long as they have.
The loads have never been the same since the banking crisis.
The EDI/LBA should have been stopped a while ago and the aircraft used to
re-instate an early morning FRA service and even operate the evening service too. Leaving the mid-day to LH on a larger aircraft. The capacity would be roughly the same but would have offered the customer more choice of departure times.

In the wings, there remains a viable alternative to this crushing negativity. Yet Lufty and IAG don't seem to be interested.
I represent some folks prepared to put forward a risky yet exciting plan. But our attempts to get the current owners to think out of the box are being ignored. Can PPruNe members assist? What an amazing outcome for this site if you could help make this happen and rescue the airline!

Using PPRuNe to contact IAG's management?
In the unlikely event that you ever get anywhere near the management of bmi R, my resignation will follow quickly.
Is Walter Mitty one of your "folks"
