An example would be if I fly out say on a Thursday to GLA with Easyjet and want to return on a Sunday my choice is train or Loganair so Loganair could pick up business for a journey I might not have made in the first place if it wasn’t for Easyjet.
No unregulated free market works like this. Perhaps once in the days of say BA and Air Canada pooling seats to Canada, but never as direct competitors, which easyJet and Loganair are. Huge majority of people, even savvy people, are carrier loyal on a booking.
easyJet don't offer regular domestics for business, business works around easyJet's offered timings. They're the dominant domestic carrier now surely?
