Barbara Cassani appears to be trying to promote herself and Go as being altruistic in their quest to provide cheap fares for passengers.This is not true although the passengers will be the ones to benefit short term from the loss leaders.The only reason they are going to EMA is because they have been seen off various routes and bases by the more efficient Ryanair and saw EMA and BMI as a soft touch.She now appears to be surprised that BMI are responding. At the end of the day she and GO are in it for profit and to try to convince us that they are doing it only for the benefit of the passengers is not plausible.She criticises BMI saying it will not be viable for them to operate a low cost arm but I seem to remember this was how GO started much to the chagrin of Easy etc.. .EMA is starting to look very much like a last ditch effort by GO to establish a major base that they can make their own.. .IN the meantime good luck to the passengers who in the short term at least are set to benefit not from locost but below cost fares.
