You might compare EZY to BA ex LGW with 40+ aircraft based there. However, up North at MAN, at best you have one flight a day up against multiple daily departures by LH, LX. KL & AF.
The vast majority of the pax using the legacies ex MAN are interlining. I still view EZY up north as a bucket & spade operator & their competition here is Jet2, Ryanair & Monarch.
Maybe one day, one of the major locos would offer interlining ? Something that SouthWest has done very successfully in the USA.
As for the pesky wabbit.....more pointless than timeless.
