I can see there is a market to be opened up there, but I wouldn't have thought this was the best way to go about it. As Powerjet has said the links into the EZY network are tenuous to say the least, which leaves either the Carlisle people going to London (getting in late in the evening) or the City folk going out to the provinces. Is there really that much business going on in Carlisle to warrant a daily service. I know Eddie Stobart is doing well but I didn't realise that his bankers were going to see him!
I would have thought the better way to open up somewhere like Carlisle would be on a double drop basis, i.e. Carlisle-LTN-AMS rather than doing it point to point.
I'm a bit sceptical about the council opening up another junction off the M6. I think they'd want to see more than a couple of flights a day before they would even consider that one.
Just my inane ramblings on the subject.
