I agree with your points and this is exactly why the Easyjet model alone is not really right for the Isle of Man in my view. Islands need regular and frequent connections for strategic reasons. It is fine if there is sufficient demand in the market for one flight a day plus a more frequent carrier but it is not the solution for an island that needs strong and regular connections into the neighbouring capital. The problem as you have rightly highlighted is Easyjet bleeding out any new potential operator that's why there needs to be some form of light touch regulation to ensure that does not happen. The Isle of Man Government need to carefully consider all of this and ensure they have the right outcome for the island.
