Even regarding flybe or whatever they are called next year: we'll see what happens to our links to Southampton and Exeter. My bet is that they'll stay. If it's worth flying to Exeter, then it's worth going to Gatwick.
The expense of a full fare BA route on an Airbus will be very different to a EXT on a DH8 with FlyBe...
