MOL doesn’t like to admit FR lost a lot of pilots to DY a couple of years ago which caused the shortage and cancellations at FR - not rostering issues which were given as the excuse then by him
It really took off when DY choose EasyJet over ryanair regarding the feeder agreement from DY LH to EZY SH. The negotiation had been going on for some time, with ryanair being the frontrunner for a deal(at least according to MOL) In the end, Kjos went for EasyJet and called MOL greedy in the process. MOL turned to the media, and went on and on about DY going bust. Kjos then went public, and said ryanair tried to buy the company last year. MOL turned bitter and the rest is history..
