This is where it will start to get interesting , even with a slowdown these two carriers have many aircraft to be delivered and need to find routes for them. They always new at some stage they would need to go head to head.

Battle seems to be commencing in two major areas, against each others cash cows ( always been avoided during the last 8 or 9 years ) and against the new risk from eastern europe with the new lcc,s much lower cost base.

I think an FR & EZY battle will be a nightmare for the smaller carriers and will hurt them greatly, i can also see FR starting LTN-PIK/BFS/EDI services in retaliation.

Fun times ahead.
