Default yeah baby!

from SPEEDNEWS:
*********** DOES TICKET INCLUDE A FREE BOTTLE? *************

bmi british midland announced this week that it is naming its new no frills
airline, bmibaby.

Yes, bmibaby.

Starting March 23, bmibaby will fly a dedicated fleet of 737-300s from East
Midlands Airport to key leisure destinations including Barcelona, Nice,
Palma, Malaga, Faro and Alicante. Internet fares on bmibaby will start at
just 25 pounds each way.

What do you call a bmibaby pilot? A babysitter

Question

bmibaby? What the F is that? Who the hell is doing the marketing for those airlines? That sounds like what I find in my 1 year old nephew's diaper. That sounds almost as silly as the whole TUI thing and the name Air Liberte renamed themselves as "Air Lib".

Personally, there are other alternatives to bmibaby, but I'm no marketing professional (but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night)- bmijet, bmifly, bmisky, bmiblue, etc.

Babysitter, that's a good one

It's a British thing you know. They do have an interesting sense of humor. Remember "The Young Ones"?

This is a power move over Virgin Atlantic and British Airways! Competition it is some beast.
