Added to the hassle of drop off and pick up congestion, or the use of remote drop off makes a 40 minutes flight uncompetitive to the alternatives.
I agree, MAN T3 is a woefully over-crowded space. I'm sure that if flyBe wanted to that they could organise fast-track security for their passengers at MAN. But they don't, even for full-fare 'all in' tickets. Fast track is available at other airports for 'all in' ticket holders. Hopefully with the MAN TP some airlines will be decanted to the new T2 and/or space made available in T1.
