Duplicated routes

Price war looming or EZY decamping? Whilst I hope FR are paying the going rate to be at SEN (i.e. where the airport makes money direct from the airline for landing and handling) and not just from the additional pax footfall, if they replace 1m EZY pax with 1m FR pax, how are they going to grow pax numbers?
