Post How desperate can airlines get ?

After a recent 'free flight' offer by Ryanair, easyJet have decided to copy the idea ? Here it is: -

18:15, easyJet offers free flights between Ireland and Scotland

easyJet today announced that it is offering thousands of free seats on selected flights between Belfast - Glasgow and Belfast - Edinburgh. Customers only need to pay the Government Tax of £5 per leg. This offer is available up until the end of March 2002


Isn't there a law against 'dumping' prohibiting companies from selling products below cost ??? If flying for free isn't just that, then I don't know what is. Seems these guys (MO'L and Haji-Dopupoupudoupoulous) are going to put each other out of business. As far as I am concerned, the sooner the better.

It's all a big con. You'll travel outbound for as little as £0.00 and pay as much as £150.00 for your inbound flight. What a con.

What's next ? Crew will be paid in cash and given time off to sign on every fortnight? Give me a break.
