Fair comment - all I'm saying is I just can't see Ryanair & Easyjet co-existing at BFS. Its common knowledge that Easyjet have BFS by the b***s and BFS simply cannot afford to compromise their operations. To bring Ryanair in at all bearing in mind that there is little love lost between the two would be like waving the proverbial red flag at the bull and would result in BFS being used as a battleground for a war of words - would this really benefit anyone?

I agree that MOL will probably hold out for the best deal he can get but I simply can't see him being content to operate a few routes out of BFS and simply sit back and watch while Easyjet flood the rest of the market - his track record in the past has shown that he is quite prepared to take on Easyjet on their own territory & his almost daily comments about them are somewhat less than complimentary!
