I don’t know, but a question I’ve always wondered (not unique to SEN) is why airlines do perverse things just to fit in with summer/winter schedules when they don’t need to. For example, the Stobart DUB route would surely have been better ending yesterday or today rather than Saturday. This would have enabled rather than block the busy weekend market, and given continuity until the FR take over tomorrow. Similarly surely the Newquay route would be better starting on Thursday or Friday, or even pushed back a couple of weeks to Easter.
