...not small minded, SOU are probably just not interested in ad hoc charters for fear of taking opportunities from their dominant (90%+) carrier, Flybe. Added to this an unattractive apron configuration for anything above an E95 or baby Airbus, its easy to see why charters dont really fit with peak traffic parking...of course if the holiday charter companies could operate attractive out of peak slots through SOU, that may be a different story.
