nice that you think of the human race as decent people, but unfortunately as statistics can back up, people don't follow brand or convenience, they follow price. Especially from a regional airport.
Whilst I agree GRO picks up enough demand in its own right I doubt GRO without Barcelona on its doorsetp would work - from Bournemouth anyway.
Look at the CAA stats: BOH-GRO carries more pax per month than does BRS-BCN.
