The problem with that is it is purely a fare-based supposition. It may be true for the tourist traffic, or those whose time has little value. But given aircraft size, there is no way EZY can economically offer the timings and frequency that business traffic, and even tourist traffic trying to make connections, requires. I'm not sure at all that it is game-out for Loganair. For the litigation minded, there might even be some thoughts in the direction of unfair competition laws, particularly if EZY destroys competition on a given route, only to quit it all together when it doesn't prove lucrative enough. There is precedent, after all, from certain LCCs.
