RE: Blackpool and Ryanair.
In 2006 Monarch did a runner when pax was over 70%.
Blackpool got over that, and they will get over Ryanair's tantrums.
The head of Ryanair is an eccentric idiot IMO who picks arguments Europe wide.
Like you say "good riddance" - If Girona is profitable, then it will be taken by some airline.
