I think the additional departures will more than cover for the seats lost by using the Stobart aircraft. Below is a list of how many flights are planned to depart IBZ on each day next August. Changes in frequency compared to the summer just gone are highlighted.
MON - 3 flights
TUE - 2 flights
WED -
THU - 3 flights
FRI - 4 flights
SAT -
SUN - 5 flights

I had two friends end up doing IBZ-MAN-LHR to get a reasonably priced flight (they both live in West London so overall wasn't too crazy) - apparently they weren't the only ones!

Would anyone know which (if any) LCY-NCE will be operated by Stobart in late August to mid-September? Haven't booked my RFS for that yet so if it's likely to be a 1-2 configuration at the front, I might redeem at least the return in CE.
I have a LCY-NCE booked for just after Easter, but so far no notification about a change of aircraft.

Answering my own question but it case it helps anyone else, for now it looks like only the Sunday LCY-NCE flights are operated by Stobart for the end August to mid September period. No good to me then. Ah well, the usual RFS in ET with Cityflyer it is...
