In the past 7 days Easyjet has cancelled 3 flights. Loganair has cancelled one. Comparable to size that’s about the same performance and not bad considering on one day Easyjet had an IT failure. There have been a few delays on Loganair too.
As long as I’ve been reading this thread nobody has said Easyjet is the perfect solution for the IOM (like you constantly imply) but rather Easyjet is the only one paying their own way unlike the subsidised Loganair who will leave as soon as the subsidy stops.
Enjoy Loganair and keep giving them your money and they might stick around.
