There's a degree of naivety and touching faith above. Look at what a flustercuck this is. How much more money are they going to hose at operators doing this sort of lark? Two of the four (five if you count Skybus) remaining UK regional turboprop operators have closed this month, Eastern and now Blue Islands. Aurigny are an endlessly loss making necessity to keep Guernsey connected to the UK which leaves Loganair and Emerald still surviving on a (semi) commercial basis. One is part subsidised by the Scottish Government as a necessity, the other is the Aer Lingus operator in Northern Ireland.

I suspect Cornwall are actually going to set up their own carrier the way things are going.
