Today could have been bmi's big opportunity. No doubt some would-be BA passengers will travel on bmi where the two airlines complete. Today could have bmi's chance to shine and show that it was a serious competitor to BA, and maybe even change a few people's travel preferences. Sadly however, its ironic that the BA problems happened just after bmi introduced their hopeless modular concept, as I suspect that any BA regular who does try bmi today will be sufficiently discouraged that they'll go straight back to BA when the problems are over.
