I attended the launch today at East Midlands Airport and I can assure you it is not a wind up. 15,000 free seats are being given away from next Monday via their website. £25 will be the standard fare each way for many of the most popular European leisure destinations including Barelona, Nice, Alicante, Prague etc. and more new routes are to follow. Go and bmibaby are set to battle it out at EMA.

Quote from the press releases on the BM site....
Tony Davis, managing director of bmibaby said:
“I am delighted to be able to unveil our new spokesbaby today, who has recently been named Tiny, and who will be helping me to introduce the largest no frills airline in the Midlands."
Well, good luck to him. If it gets people from A to B safely and profitably, and provides jobs for pilots and others, who cares what the outside looks like? And in any case, Mr D is a marketing type who probably knows what he's doing....

It's all the progeny from the Exorcist, Omens I, II & III and Bride of Chucky, all lumped together. Yuk - makes EZ's overuse of orange look good by comparison!

I think it looks great.
With a head that shape I do hope it was a short labour. OUCH!!!!
Another thing, I hear the airline will operate under a different designator to mainline. Does anyone know the new callsign.

Is the choice of the name bmibaby a response to the infantile prattlings of the outmanoevred GO executives?. .In honour of Capt.Hardy the cabin crew ought to be called RONettes.

[quote] Is the fact the reg appears to be G-MIDF (an Airbus A321) telling us something we ought to know? <hr></blockquote>
If you look at the 'fleet' pics in the bmi inflight magazine, all the planes except the 330 have the same reg - and I think it's G-MIDF. I guess MIDF was one of the first painted in the new colour scheme, and they edited all the pics from that.
Which still doesn't answer the question of the source of the picture above.

Good Luck to em.
However, that has got to be the worst design effort in human history <img src="eek.gif" border="0"> I've seen better splatterings on the ground outside my local on Saturday night !
- You know what they say though, any publicity is good publicity !! <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0">

That livery is the funniest thing I have seen in ages....it certainly made me chuckle. Could not actually believe it when I checked out the website and discovered that the " baby " was for real!!!
