We have a relatively large catchment area and are leaking millions of passengers each year to Newcastle & Leeds-Bradford, as well as Doncaster Sheffield & Manchester to a lesser extent, I can't see how we're much different in that sense.
You know what will happen now though don't you? In a couple of years or so, maybe less, they'll go into Newcastle and we'll be 'sandwiched' again, blowing any chance of us getting a replacement based airline, if there even is a chance in the first place.
