You could be right based on the easy BHX-BFS fares - In the first week of the summer season (BHX-BHD only bookable in the last few days) the easy fares on some days go up to £353 one way outbound and £308 inbound and it is not even school holidays. Of course there are some £25 fares at times during the week but I have never seen these kind of fares on domestic unless there was a major show on at the NEC or sporting events. Some of this is mitigated by the fact easy reduce the frequency from 28-30 per week to 20 but you can't help but feel EI/Emerald have lost some bookings and Flybe 2 if they are intending to operate on the route.
