EZY at MME
Whilst I'd agree that there is next to zero chance of finding a based A319 turning up at MME any time soon, is there not a reasonable chance that EZY could be coaxed into at least operating some winter MME-GVA schedules (as they've done for a number of years from BHX and BOH)?
Might be small fry in the great scheme of things, but even solely a sat-sun MME-GVA operation would be a good step forward compared with where the airport is at right now.
After all, lets face it, anyone within Peel assuming they're going to conjure up a new based B737/A319 or similar operation within the next few years is kidding themselves. But per the BE MME-JER etc, by concentrating on the small and achieveable steps forward and by getting the passenger experience right I believe they can rebuild a half decent business. Getting side-tracked by ridiculous notions of being able to replicate LPL in the north-east is, as the last couple of years has shown, a hiding to nothing.
