I'm sorry, but you're wrong there. My corporate travel agent is only allowed to book BA and we never used BMI on my weekly run from GLA to London. The BA fares these days from GLA to the South East are now significantly more expensive than they were a year or so ago. It's so obvious it's blatant profiteering.

I'm honestly surprised that its only 34%, it certainly feels like a lot more.
