Ryan air is not a cancer

Cancer by and large tends to kill its host, to date Ryanair have not done that. I think the term ""a virus" would be more accurate in that it tends to degrade its host and infect those around it.

Ryanair are now at a tipping point at so many airports where for many they are the only show in town on many routes, this i think will increase so that like Dublin to almost anywhere (other than LHR) its Ryanair or don't fly there.

The big long term danger is that Ryanair will become in 5 years time the tail wagging the dog for airports/Boeing and customers alike, only MOL own arrogance will pull them up short, it will be interesting to see his next move now Aer Lingus have told him to Foxtrot Oscar, leaving him (Ryan) with 29% of AL which is about as much use as SAS 20% stake in loss making BMI
