Now go back and look at which Regional Airports would have the financial muscle to do this, CWL would be on that list. Now go back and list the Regional Airports whose shareholders have had the desire to do this for a long time and are prepared to throw a lot of money at it, CWL would be on that list.

Depends if EI/BA want to create whichever Airport as a mini long haul hub. CWL-New York might work, but that's about it, which is only 1 aircraft.
Is there enough demand in the region? I doubt it. Theres no connecting traffic through CWL. Especially with Airlines saying travel won't return to 2019 levels for a few years yet.

With all the planned Eastern expansion notably at MME, SOU and other airports how come Eastern only appear to be advertising for cabin crew at CWL on their webpage ?
i know they do the twice daily CWL-VLY route with the based J41 and prior to COVID-19 they did the daily MME/ABZ but this was with a non based aircraft.
Would this cabin crew recruitment drive be purely for the VLY route or is something else in the planning for CWL as since the loss of Flybe, CWL has lost (and not replaced to date) BHD, DUB, EDI, GLA, JER and CDG.......all of which were the busiest schedule routes for CWL or is this just wishful thinking ? Just seems odd to be advertising solely for CWL based crew.
These destinations could fit in nicely with a based ATR I guess.

Airlines recruit from all different places for crew. The 2 airlines that spring to mind that had a advert for cabin crew around CWL was BA and Virgin,but neither fly any passenger services from CWL.I remember at the time there was a big discussion at the time and the same question was asked as you asked. Airlines recruit from all walks of life as it adresses the racist thing.Normaly the crew that apply for jobs get employed near to a base,as not many apply that live no where near a base,also it tells the airline what sort of people are out there in the big wide world. This practice has been going on like this for years. The sad part is this corona 19 has made airlines think and have and will do make redundancies.

I can only imagine there was a drive to recruit at CWL for the VLY and MME routes (maybe using the CWL to route through MME and crew from there as well)... but I guess none of us know what's going on behind closed doors. And may never know.

Eastern Airways have put Anglesey onsale for Summer 2021. Same times from Cardiff as before 0735 and 1610 (15.10 on Fridays). Doesn't look like Teesside/Aberdeen is coming back.
The route is due to restart again on 19th October. Finger's crossed for that!

Bit of good news for CWL in that there will be an IOM Charter next summer.
Bad news is that unless CWL gets a based airline for next year to operate them it looks like there'll be no flights to Scotland as Loganair are adamant on social media that they will not be resuming Cardiff to Edinburgh or Glasgow for Summer 2021.

Thats probably CWLs only option to regain the Scottish routes. Ireland i suppose there's still a chance of Aer lingus and Paris probably a slim chance of Air France.

Yeah I tend to agree and prior to COVID-19 would have expected some form of deal to be arranged with CWL. BHD & EDI (possibly GLA) would be a good start along with VLY of course. Be great to have Aer Lingus Regional doing DUB again and as you said AF to CDG, should fit in nicely for HOP too.
COVID-19 has certainly thrown a spanner in the works with things.....can’t understand why Loganair have dropped EDI & GLA yet seem to be adding frequency from other regional airports. If they had x2 daily flights it would have been a good earner for them as EDI especially was one of the top destinations ex CWL.
Bring back Air Wales !!

The CEO in an interview said Cardiff wasn't viable and there was no demand. Which maybe understandable for summer 2020 during Covid19 but in the future as demand recovers? Maybe there's more to the situation than we'll ever know?
Hopefully CWL will regain the routes in good time.

can’t understand why Loganair said there was no demand, Flybe and BMI baby operated 3 flights a day on larger aircraft than the EM4. The demand was simply not there due to the silly excuse of flight timings they offered and just one flight a day in the evening. If Loganair were serious then they had the capacity and aircraft to do at least 2 a day. Just a publicity stunt to show them taking over BE routes to save the day more like.

It's a shame now that Edinburgh especially seems to be lost as a route but hopefully Dublin and Paris aren't.
