I assume he’s talking about the high level of O&D at MAN, rather than suggesting MAN is some sort of tinpot backwater. There is no dominant hub airline at MAN, which limits commenting flow. A lot of posters are obsessed with connections, as if they solve any problem. But the reality is connections are low-yield, helping to fill the plane, but not necessarily profitable. All of MANs long haul is supported by good volume and good yield O&D, which is quite an achievement.
