Of course, Ryanair have another “cheat” with the latter by sometimes cancelling flights that don’t make sense for them economically, whilst the legacy carriers tend to tough it out more when demand is low (another reason IMHO to stick with legacies).

I’m not sure where you count FlyBe on the legacy/LCC scale, but my friend who is a pilot for them says he (grudgingly) looses more hours on a Friday morning and Monday afternoon than any other times because if the loads are low then BE do this, and those are the two lowest demand periods. I know Deano flies for them too and may deny this, but I’m only passing on what I’ve been told.
