Alright well that's you're opinion. I'd have a very different one, Either way, ~15 people per flight isn't exactly bad considering what has just ensued and it was only essential workers allowed to travel on it. Sure it is government funded route normally anyways, however this is only to the tune of ~£2,000,000 per year as it was. Whilst you may not see the benefit from not living locally, there certainly is one for people from within the county. Besides, BHD was in the same boat and I'd say got a significantly larger share of the money too.
