I wonder if MAG told the EZY boys that MOL was waiting in the wings too?
If FR have already applied for slots, this will have been known to EZY and all the other airlines at the Slot Conference. Airlines often apply for slots to test the water and sometimes they get returned as they decide not to operate. Remember EZY a couple of years ago. Seems like FR had a back up in case the EZY scenario came about...
I reckon we will see FR operating in from European bases to start with but who knows what will happen in the future.
Rowena Burns, easily the largest and most effective brain of MAG's executive directors, is leaving for a senior role in the private sector.
Given her and her partner's close links with Mcr City Council, that worries me on behalf of passengers and airlines. She was always the council's "person on the inside" whose main job was to keep the idiots on track.
With her gone, the main shareholder loses that inside link.
With her gone, MAG loses a lot of talent and expertise.
With her gone, MAG slides further downhill.

This news was in the MEN business pages last week. And who is to say that an another "inside link" isn't already in place?
