Thanks for that Sphinx and sickBocks, I dont suppose any of you know the scale of Monarchs and First choices operations from Birmingham, and First choices from Bristol? Also I know Monarch fly A320/321's from Birmingham, But what do First choice fly from there and from Bristol?

Monarch operate 2xA320/1 from Birmingham. I'm not sure if there are further expansion plans, but there was only one A321 last Summer, so perhaps steadily building capacity, as is Monarch's way, is likely.

Dover,
First Choice BHX 2 x 757, BRS 2 x A321. BRS is converting to 757's over the winter.

Regards.

Also on a more general note (bearing in mind im new to all this!) when your with an airline flying a certain type of aircraft, if you wanted to change type who pays for the conversion if the only reason for doing so is you wanting to, (to allow you to get to another base for example which doesnt have your current type based there)? are the airlines usually happy about you doing this?
