if there is a niche route that LDY can sustain!
If that is similar to the way they put it, then it looks like MAN may well be a goner as they would know from load factors whether it was sustainable already.
I'd also point out that I'm never negative about your statements Carn, my negativity stems from frustration at airlines to expand. When you think LDY you think of FR, BE needs more than one route from LDY to overcome this effect, and thus attract more traffic in search of flights from/to LDY to their site.
