BE currently operate Glasgow, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle and Birmingham from City; all of which are served by EZY from BFS. Have I missed any?
I hate flying on those noisey (inside) Dash-8's and have only used them in the past to avoid driving to BFS. If I had to travel to BFS to fly to any of the above destinations, I'd be climbing the steps onto a orange Airbus and not a purple "cardboard box with wings."
That last paragraph is somewhat tongue in cheek but also reflect's a lot of my non-aviation savy friends opinion's on turboprops.
A full quota of based Embraer's could however put the cat amongst the pigeons at BFS....
