Yes, and add on NWI -EXT to the mix as well, recently vacated by Flybe, and you could have good aircraft utilisation. Although that said you might need something bigger than a J41 on the route as the monthly pax figures on this sector, according to CAA, was in the region of 2100 to 2500 per month this past year.
