I'd agree with bravoromeosierra, returning to BRS last night from AMS my colleague noted the difference between the airport environments. Whilst you can't really compare the two (global hub vs regional airport) it certainly seems as if BRS is very 'no-frills' - particularly the new walkway, which certainly appears to be done on the cheap (v narrow and low quality materials / finishing). The return of a 'full fare' airline route, even the regional arm, shows that airlines other than EZ and FR have faith in the airport.
