kick the tyres
Probably no sadder than people who read it, and you appear to have done so to have made the comment.
My son has used the BRS-CPH connection several times since its inception for business and would have continued to do so. Now he will have to go to London or Birmingham again just to catch the aeroplane.
That's why I made the comment earlier that if easyJet were going to drop the route it would be helpful to regular travellers to give them plenty of notice so that they can think about alternatives.
