GOING LOCO
As the posts below yours point out - you are wrong.
I choose my flights on the basis of use it or lose it. Obviously, there is a limit to that kind of indulgence ie if there wasn't a daily flight, I wouldn't delay my trip. Business is business. NOT spotter logic.
There are definite economic benefits in having extensive flights from regional airports, not just for the regions concerned but for THE UK AS A WHOLE.
Being in Manchester's orbit means I am luckier than most in the UK regions but it allows me to run my business from a place that is not London.
