Differences in seating capacity are no guide to differences in total fully-allocated aircraft rotational cost when you play the Ryanair game. Given the prices that MOL can buy B737-800s for, what's the difference in aircraft cost per rotation between a -600 and a -800? Not a lot. Those empty seats (or rediculously cheap seats) are costing MOL zippo. Don't buy the capacity illusion - it's total costs that count.
