Eastern Airways have done an excellent job in backfilling some of the former Flybe routes from Southampton. Aurigny are not in the same position to do so and why should they.
There's no room for two operators on Southampton to Manchester.
Blue Islands starting Exeter to Manchester is just replacing Flybe, that's the reason they are doing so.
