I wonder if they could do Birmingham, I'm not surprised Eastern failed to be honest, with the fares they charged! But if Flybe can offer a faster and cheaper alternative to the train, then why not? 70 seats at £50-100 shouldn't be much more difficult than 20 seats at £300... Or does business not work like that?
It's the whole time vs cost thing isn't it? If you have to do security etc for two hours before at the airport, bit of a pain, if the costs were the same however I would fly every time. People feel safer by train than in the sky as well I would generalise.
