BMI REGIONAL-2
If only BMIR could find a way of monetizing the number of mentions they get on Pprune as being 'ideal to operate from ABC to XYZ', they wouldn't have to worry about actually flying planes...

LBA base closure
Have just read a post on the LBA thread that the BM are dropping LBA-BRU route, with the last flight operating on 6th May. As a result the base at LBA is to close.

BHX-TLS
Hardly a month since BHX-TLS was announced the schedule has changed already.
The Monday - Friday inbound time stays the same but appears to be the Bremen - TLS aircraft.
The 0700 BHX-TLS has been pushed back to 11.30 Monday - Friday and at present sits on the ground doing nothing until 11.30.
The Sunday arrives just after lunch and returs to TLS changing from a late afternoon arrival. I know somebody who has booked the Sunday deliberately over other cheaper options for the late afternoon arrival into BHX and within a month it has changed.
The BHX-LYS is still operated by the inbound TLS Monday - Friday
Are they going to add another flight from BHX in the morning?

Claiming back holiday duty pay
Bit off topic but is there any news on claiming back duty pay during holidays since the court ruling in October? I know it wasn't a case with Bmir but assume it will apply to all airlines.
Have had a little google but not much been said since the ruling.
Thanks
VG

BMI Regional signs maintenance deal with SAAB
Saab Signs Contract for Component Maintenance - AviationPros.com
By my maths and exchange rates as of (140313) that works out at a contract a little over Ł10,000,000 with SAAB.
