Exactly ...
From BHX one of my regular destinations was FCO, at the time Jet2, supposedly a LoCo, operated the route directly albeit at unconvenient times, it was actually cheaper for me to travel with Swiss, 3 services daily, PDQ connections in ZRH, and with a complimentary sandwich, coffee and beer served on each sector.
And ditto for BHX/MXP also, served directly at the time by BA Connect and then Flybe, cheaper and more convenient schedules via ZRH with Swiss.
