Fl Dutchman - you hit the nail on the head, what you think is clearly not what the airlines do. The routes have been cut because they're not the most profitable and can't be sustained. Bucket and spades are what sells so get used to it.
Krakow is never going to be a full load daily, Milan was actually Bergamo and Prague is weekend trips and stag parties. None of them appeal to a core business community so they have a short shelf life.
It's like all aspects of business, when people have cash to splash the routes will be there, otherwise its going to suffer.
