easyJet have been able to make LPL-IOM work, which is currently their shortest route, and only 15nm longer than BFS-IOM. Prices are also £49 return, and the only major difference is that the A319 is used instead of the A320.
Yes I agree the fares are hideous and the frequency isn't as good as their predecessor, however, imagine you are flying for a meeting on a Monday, you can't fly back with EZY until Friday. It's only really any good for leisure users. No doubt BE will reduce fares a bit now.
