richard,
Yes, I accept what you say is true but it does seem strange that Brymon (now BACX) built up the routes,and BA did not close the BRS base when they closed all routes from CWL and LBA last year, yet now there are rumours (or a rumour) it is to close.
I'm going off topic. Maybe I will start a thread about this, although I do not like doing so based on a rumour, that is why I hoped transwede (who mentioned the rumour in the first place) might be able to amplify. I'll wait another day or so to see if he has any further information.
Incidentally, I note you come from the land of Shearer and I wonder how sales for the easyJet NCL-BRS route are shaping up. It doesn't start until August and there were some tasty introductory fares. I managed to get a BRS-NCL-BRS fare for £15 all-in (bought at the time EZY were paying the UK tax).
