At least Qatar have deep enough pockets to give the route a chance to develop. Were Flybe not the beneficiaries of generous sweeteners from the airport owners (coincidentally the Welsh government) you may find that they would be a deal ruthless with regard to route performance.
The proof of all puddings is what happens when the deals (and the same goes for Doncaster in that respect) run out.
