Personally I don't mind if people think I'm putting out "garbage" as they're entitled to that opinion if that's the way they feel. Some on here seem to think my opinions are worth reading anyway so I'll carry on.
I certainly don't think Stobart can be justly criticized for encouraging easyJet's unexpected approach to them; name any other 'new' airport that would have rejected such an approach. I agree to an extent that they can have the effect of somewhat stifling competition simply by cherry picking the most viable routes. Without easyJet being at SEN I wonder if someone else would have opened AMS for example or another based operator might have appeared at SEN; that must remain unknown.
As far as new routes for SEN are concerned for next year, well you never know do you?
