Well done The Ryans. The fuel price was the key to the profits, after last years disaster with hedging policy looks like they are now learning from their mistakes.
Regarding airframe purchases. Looks like bluff, Boeing are in trouble, they need Ryanair to survive. I can't see them lose Ryanair as a customer. But maybe another player will enter the game. Could a smaller e-jet or c-jet be the answer? More modern aircraft could open up many shorter airfields, therefor putting pressure on existing airports to lower charges.
