While there is a sizable Irish community around Leeds and the NE, I agree with iwhak, it will further dilute BMI numbers on MAN, with LPL to the West and EMA to the South. BMIs numbers are down a couple of thousand compared to the years before EMA/LPL, though the LF held up last month at 70% (they may benefit a little over the winter from FR pulling SNN - MAN). The 733 is a good size for Babys routes, but many of Ryaniars regional routes would be better served with something smaller like A319 or RJs.
