"The other contributor" doesn't think he has a right to fly where he wants, when he wants at the price he wants to pay and accepts it's down to market forces (but, come the revolution...
).
I think people over emphasise the influence of airports, they can't make people do what they don't want to do or pay a price they don't want to pay.
ps I don't use BRS, but have colleagues who do and have had to fly out via DUB in the morning and back via BFS in the evening this summer because EZY reduced the BFS service!
