MOL is a business man pure and simple. He does what is necessary to achieve a profit for his share holders.
Just a clarification here.
O'Leary does not try to 'acheive a profit for his shareholders'. Ryanair does not share its profits with shareholders! He does not pay a dividend. This is why FR is swimming in cash.
O'Leary's job is to
increase the share price for his shareholders.
He is failing in his job spectacularly at present.
