Agree that the type of setup has the potential to work, but only tightly regulated, using reputable operators and machinery and all working to standard which exceeds that which an airline on it's own would set. Therefore when the inevitable deterioration sets in due to having several operators, the standard actually achieved is still of a reasonable level.
Sadly Manx2 have never set out to achieve any standard at all, and were only interested in £££.
