The BHX flights went down to 2 daily at the start of July as the airline 
made the aircraft do something else from BHX for the summer. That's been
in 
the schedule for months so its a pleasant surprise that they are having a 
third flight on those days during the winter. I'm never terribly worried 
about small cut backs on domestic flights when there is a high frequency.
In 
the case of BHX there is also 6 flights a day with Flybe.

Overall there is no loss of seats from bmibaby at GLA for this winter v 
summer which must be considered a good show in the present climate.

GSM we know about but "Jon Faro" will have to wait until all of the
easyJet 
winter flights are on sale before he knows if there is a net reduction in 
capacity at GLA (so far we know of a reduction of 2 flights a week out of 
around 160 or just over 1%) but of course I haven't seen the content of
his 
post so I won't know what he said.
