It's great you non aviation guys want to express yourselves, have your say and demonstrate your knowledge from other tenuously related areas, but it all boils down to petty regional rivalries and a spotter's mentality. BHX and MAN have very rigid charges with MAN being significantly cheaper. Therefore, the only reason these flights are going to BHX is because that is the place deemed to be the best commercially. MAN does not need a "wake up call" or to chase the tour operator. The posts from the BHX regulars are far more informed and balanced btw.
