I think I said that? Difference being that LHR has feed all day whereas only the first onbound to Gatwick and the second outbound is decent for the vast majority of connections to the Beach Fleet leaving the remaining rotations dependent on fighting EZY for point to point.
A320 every hour wuth semi seamless connections or the flybe option in a Dash !
I love it when Navpi sings the benefits of SEAMLESS (they're often not)!) connections via LHR, what a great point well made! I knew you'd see sense one day.
One of the challenges must be that flybe are competing with their borderline LHR operations with a large operation out of LCY. Now BA can do this better, in the way LHR-GLA was downsized and LCY-GLA up-sized with a move away from connections to support strong point to point London traffic but I don't see flybe having the benefits of scale to do this.
