EI-BUD, the overall problem with the sunshine routes from Exeter is the lease deal on the E195s. Flybe have to charge a specific price to stop customers running up the M5 to Bristol to use easyjet, this obviously means they make the company very little money, if any, even though they are generally good load factors. Saad has been on record to say that the planes simply aren't big enough. Make of that what you will. There's an article in the local Express & Echo newspaper on it. I'll try and find a link, or just Google it.
