Problems for the low service airlines

As usual the goings on in the low service sector (or low cost as they brand of themselfs) is hidden in the fact that they don't show in the IATA numbers.

From my viewpoint I see both RYR & EZY with real problems, RYR are going to suffer from people at the lower end of the income scale not flying offset by the people with the money trying them (but just the once!).

EZY have another problem in that Aer Lingus are moving in to LGW using a lo cost model.

I hope that EZY can keep going as they do offer a value for money service unlike the other lot who just regard the customers as cattle.

What this has to do with flight trainning is that soon will be the time to get trainning, watch the commoditys market for hardening prices as this is likely to be the first indication of the economic upturn and a time when a good deal can be had on flight trainning.
