Based on four aircraft in summer and 2/3 in winter I would say about a half a million passengers if they went completely.
What would be replaced is difficult to say. When they cut Rome, Lisbon, Barcelona and Madrid last time nobody rushed to take any of those routes despite the healthy load factors for most of the year.
Ryanair maybe would add additional capacity to the sun routes as would Monarch, flybe would increase Belfast City....City routes????????
flybe are as inactive as ever at BHX for new routes and whether the 175
will change that who knows.

Interesting points you make about Jet2 at EMA, as I was shocked at the lack of utilisation of the aircraft last summer and they are almost invisible this winter. Granted the 2012 schedule is a great improvement and Jet2 do seem to have an advantage that they don't seem to need to fly all their aircraft as they own most of their fleet compared to baby who have leases to pay.
EMA's figures last summer were okay but they were up against an atrocious offering from BHX which will not be the same in 2012 if all goes to plan with an extra baby and two extra Monarch aircraft.
