I think most in the LBA catchment area would consider Manchester their next airport of choice and not DSA. There may be some TUI loyalists who may go to DSA but I would expect only a few and even then many will be won over to Jet2 Holidays camp. After all this has been going on for years, Thomson, as it was, had 1 aircraft at LBA and Jet2 none.. Now TUI's remaining 1 aircraft is about to go/has gone and Jet2 have over 15 - this must say something! Monarch made a reasonable go at LBA until they ceased business so I would fully expect another operator to start up at LBA. It is huge catchment area, Leeds alone has a population of 750,000, plus cities like Bradford, Huddersfield, etc. Additionally LBA is about to expand its terminal, a new access road is planned and a Park and Ride and station with a 10 minute journey into Leeds is all planned for the next few years. TUI may well rue the day they finally left LBA!
