Reality check.
MOL opens a base in Wroclaw. No BALPA,cheaper handling,lower staff costs...bye bye Bournemouth...1 UK base closed.
Slim,
A quick look at the RYR website shows that from Bournemouth (a relatively affluent retirement area) they fly to destinations such as Carcassone, Limoges, Palma Majorca and Faro, alll favourite destinations for the "grey pound".
I can't see the attraction of "Dordogneshire" (as MOL once called it) and its culinary and cultural delights being much of a pull for your average Polish waitress or plumber somehow, do you ?
What would Ryanair do in such a scenario ? Announce to the people of Edinburgh or Bournemouth, "sorry you cant fly with Ryanair from your local airport anymore, because we're having a spat with the pilots, so we're gonna close the base down !" (presumambly leaving a vacuum for someone else to fill).
The reason Ryanair has a base at Bournemouth and Edinburgh, is because they're making
MONEY
MOL is just p1ssing in the wind !!!!
