Rivet Joint, you're absolutely correct - Dorset has nothing to do with my statements. It's merely trying to put a dose of reality about the current market conditions into this thread which is off in the realms of deepest fantasy. At no time have I suggested that BOH would be any different, so this isn't a BOH -v- SOU discussion. It's about the prospects of easyJet setting up shop - in the middle of the biggest downturn in living memory - at an airport at which they currently don't have a base when the market there has never demonstrated the ability to generate the big volumes that would be needed to sustain that business. You could substitute SOU for ABZ, DSA, BOH or many others in the debate - all would be the same flight of fancy.
