1) easyJet are tightening belts by disposing of the Boeing and A321 aircraft more quickly - adding some ageing 757's don't fit that plan

3) Maxjet have gone bust, Oasis have gone Bust, Eos are bizzarely offering a free iPod Classic to encourage bookings, SilverJet are struggling.... Is this low-cost First/Business airline model good or poo...? Meanwhile EZY and RYR keep filing profits and keep growing.
1) Silverjet fly 767s, not 757s
3) MAXjet were offering a terrible product at an odd price, with a bog-standard service. eos and Silverjet offer a premium product with strong service at a price less than BA - very different markets, and ones that could be aided by those looking for cheaper fares than BA in a downturn. The jury on their model is still out, and cannot be compared to Oasis and MAXjet in any way.
