Purplehelmet,
what people say they will do when annoyed is completely different from what they do in reality.
I couldnt even count The amount of people I have heard stating 'I will never fly with XXX again', but then you see them a couple of weeks/months later.
If the price or schedule is right, they will fly such a route again. Your telling me if a flight AUH-LHR is say £1000, then AUH-MAN is £600, people will pay the extra £400 due the fact they had, in essence, a 10 minute delay at MAN, I think not
