They might be in for a shock when they find they can't get anywhere near a full load on in, or out flying non-stop to Palma, or even Gerona.
I doubt that they would have the stomach to take such an economic hit on the obvious payload limits, or face an expensive pop in to BOH for fuel on the way...
Not gonna happen.
IMO a new Jet2 base could be, with my money would go to: LPL, MME, CWL in that order;
with EXT or BOH as rank outsiders.
