I think I just stated, problems in Europe, not IOM. Do Flybe's depart IOM do 6/7 sectors across europe and return! If they were based doing 2 way legs then there would not be an issue but that is never going to happen with an Airbus.
In that case, do easyjet need to re evaluate its commitment to the island? Where can this little peice of the puzzle possibly fit in such a widespread outfit?
Flybe aircraft do not dogleg round Europe all day, they will do upto 8 sectors to and from the island, which is as close to a reliable service as you are going to get.
