A small variety of carriers serving a variety of destinations is what the demographic requires here IMO. The Orange team and the Purple team have "gently" been enquiring but neither are talking about being "full-on" and obvs, not until the changes are made.
Highly likely the purple team will expand certain routes from SOU fairly soon and the orange team will be first in of the LLC if and when the changes are made, to what extent however is anyone’s guess!
