surely it's a good thing that Flybe are helping MAN's passenger numbers by bringing in connecting passengers. I can't but think that Bournemouth wouldn't have been launched and would survive without the extra pax that connections bring for example and flights like Exeter have been seeing a lot of growth haven't they?
I know what you mean with regard to passengers wanting good value flights ex-MAN for business and leisure trips alike but I really see all of these codeshares as a real bonus for MAN and I hope that Flybe keep added seats and routes.
