I agree that 2 airlines on PMI is adequate for SOU, but it creates competition and means the passengers can have a choice of more frequencies and cheaper air fares. Also, Flybe are very uncertain and have stated their intentions of inkeeping as a 'regional' UK airline and phasing out E195 aircraft.
