WW or EZ can return planes at the end of leases and slim but FR has lots more planes coming. it normaly sells on its planes to be used for the likes of BIMbaby. The downturn removed FRs option to sell planes at a profit after 3-5 years so MOL has a double hit. FR can fill the planes with loss making PAX for the whole year but it will take its toll on the airlines cash pile.

Look at the how it works FR sells 70 seats at £10, 70 seat at £20 and 10 seats at £100 and 10 seats at £200. 140 seat sold for £5100. If you lose 10 pax and pax pays 70 seats at £10, 70 seat at £20 and 10 seats at £100 the income is now only £3100.

looking at a few flights for travel tommorrow and it is the £200 seats that have gone. FR have to reduce capacity and that is very hard.
