I'm not being difficult. The aviation industry, its rules, practices and the pricing model is fundamentally broken. Ryanair through their fierce economies of scale model are able to charge €9.99 for you to fly 500 miles. That is not sustainable, but Ryanair does that in order to stifle and kill the competition on that route and free enterprise capitalism does not forbid it even though it's completely unethical. In order to compete, others have to drop their prices. But they can't make it work at those prices so they end up with a thinner operation with less staff in the air and on the ground.
