Exactly C8.

Right now the loco's are bleating about stiff competition and fuel prices while their share prices are up and down like a whore's drawers. When EZY trumpeted its 21% increase in pax over last year with great fanfare, they also neglected to mention that fleet size and route network had also increased by the same amount, thereby indicating precisely nothing, and explaining the large round of indifference in the City.

Meanwhile the World's favourite casually posts nearly half a billion profit, up 80% on last year. If this is the worst time to be running an airline, I think the numbers speak for themselves.
