I do understand that some of the routes are franchises and I get your point. I just think LCY is a strange choice for an airline needing to save money (avoiding the debate about how money they have saved from cutting their other routes and ignoring the possibility of lower introductory landing fees offered by LCY). To then open a NQY route from SEN while planning a LCY-NQY route with similar catchment areas just seems odd. I guess we'll just see what happens...
