Three A380s a day at the moment.

I don’t know where you have heard that from. I have been quite a regular on that route for many years and I have never heard any crew talking about bases in Manchester. It is very popular with CC with northern families who take the opportunity to see parents on layover but no one has ever mentioned Manchester Base during conversations at the Bar.
You mention the 3 flights a day, which is supposed to be increasing to 4, but still more flights to LHR so if on volume surely that would be the logical base if being considered which I am sure it is not. I’m only SLF and no connection with EK.
