No, I'm saying that EDI is operating normally, and there are take off and landing slots available at LHR, albeit they have been rationed between the different carriers
If you have ever travelled to Scotland in winter, you'd have known that only people who didn't mind having their flight cancelled booked to fly BA. Sooner or later, bmi would have got you to London
Post-merger, no such luck. All of bmi's former slots are allocated to maintain the integrity of BA's long haul operations
I'm not making any judgement on whether that's a good or bad operational decision, but it's merely an observation that domestic/short-haul travellers are worse off without bmi
