You know that the business model was the same, MOL met Herb Kelleher before he relaunched Ryanair when he became CEO. It's a matter of public record, so, actually that is clearly a valid and accepted analogy, as MOL has admitted. Poland, Malta and Ireland, all three in the EU, which is a single market. The reason the group was split was to divide the pilot group and lower costs which were creeping up. The key difference MOL ignored Kelleher on was getting on good terms with a unionised pilot group. They have publically but politely disagreed on that point, but the rest of the business model was lifted from Southwest.
