My flight prior to that one was LHR-EDI on Wednesday 20th Dec. The fog day. Again out on BMI with a short delay - no BA flying again.
To be fair, this has to do with aircraft rotation and crew rotation. BD's network I'm afraid isn't as extensive as BA's, hence a BA aircraft that is planned to do a LHR-EDI-LHR return may come Inbound from PRG, whereas BMI aircraft rotation is usually LHR-EDI-LHR-EDI-LHR-EDI.

BMI have availibilty (at the time of this message) on all their flights EDI-LHR for monday, but I don't blame you for traveling on EZY.
BMI, it would appear have decided to milk BA's Industrial relations saga to the limit. Just try and book any flight on a route that is shared by BA and BD in the period of possible strike action and you will see full fares ONLY right across the board.
Anyways, no doubt BMI will do a bumper sales drive with the £3.50 Garage Sandwiches and £3.00 bottle of acid they sell Plus I'm sure their friends at the HEX express will be happy with commission earned on selling HEX tickets......
