Also, it wouldn't matter if Ryanair paid nothing for years, they'd attract the right type of pax, we'd make enough profit from car parking, vending machines, the cafes/pubs etc.
So how's that business model working out at Prestwick then? ( closest analogy )

You're assuming that you'll make money etc because MOL says so. Is that happening at similar airfields? Is Shannon rolling in profit? I have yet to see proof this approach works in this part of the world, though I happily admit it seems to work well in parts or Europe.
