Two things - first, with Ryanair PAX they buy primarily on price, timing is secondary.
Second, if FlyBe can't make a DH4 pay on NCL/STN I'm at a loss to see how FR could with an aircraft more than twice the capacity - and that's before you even take into account the domestic APD which makes all but the principal truck routes less viable.
Surely, unless you want to travel to Essex (does anyone want to travel to Essex?) getting to London is best done by rail from Newcastle?
