Unfortunately CWL lost the battle the day GO decided to set up in BRS. By setting up such a big base so quickly with so many routes and the continued expansion when EASY took over BRS effectively became the regional airport fot the West and Wales. Lots of people from the right side of the bridge went to BRS because it had more routes and the equivalent routes were cheaper, remember Baby didn't come along until a couple of years later. Flying from BRS has just become a habit for the travelling public. Had a conversation with a friend the other day, lives in Barry travelling to ALC from BRS !!!! Why. "I always go from BRS". That's why airlines choose BRS. A new route from BRS is less of a gamble. How do you tackle that logic ! Oh and the fact that CWL don't do anything to make CWL more attractive financially to the airlines.
