Opening a base at HUY or DSA and MME makes so sense at all, Jet2 would simply dilute their current market at LBA/NCL/MAN and now EMA, competing against themselves.
I agree to a certain extent, however, as Jet2 would be the sole operator at the above airports they would have control on what routes to operate as well as more control over pricing because of no/little competition from other airlines. DSA wouldn't really effect the LBA operations, a higher % people from South Yorkshire choose EMA and MAN as their main airports after DSA as said in past polls. With this in mind the routes from DSA could be totally different to those offered at EMA.
Look out for a 757 appearing at Dublin operating a mirror of the EMA base. Treading on Ryanair's toes but operating routes that are slightly out of their reach.
Now that seems a very realistic option. Again it would be able to fill a gap left by previous tour operators over their and increase choice! Now i wouldn't have thought DUB but it does make sense.
