Because there are people in ireland, both parts, who for some reason want Aer Lingus to fail at belfast and they want it badly. Ei have been under attack since they made a decision to come to bfs. How much discussion is there on the Ryanair set up at Bhd? Discussion on their load factor on the routes, level of fares etc? Fr are giving away seats down there, load factor is poor, but never a word. I have used Ei several times to Lhr, found them very good and I hope they do very well here.
