No where near enough to satisfy demand or indeed boost SOUs passenger numbers back to where they should be.
Also, there is no flybe type operation that bridges the gap between a too expensive LM and a low cost operator which there was when SOU was at its height. Again, not SOUs fault. When EZY can grow at SOU they will and we will be back at the 2m annual passenger mark.
You blame Loganair for SOU not being where it "should be"? You really do have a chip on your shoulder with LM. Your inability to get your head round the fact that flybe failed exactly because of the reasons highlighted above is worrying. That business model isn't profitable, it never, ever was. Let it go and move on.
