Fair point, but you would imagine they would represent the overall traffic at the airport. You can hardly say that Ryanair don't utilise their fleet, with a 20-30 minute turnaround and aircraft flying 15+ hours per day, their aircraft dont spend too long on the ground at any airport.
As for my opinion on Aer Lingus, it is different to my observations - I didn't mean any offence to you by my post - and naturally as one of my national carriers I support them wholeheartedly, and was actually going to book a Christmas holiday with them from Gatwick to Knock because they were cheaper than Ryanair in this case.

I know, was wary about posting because there seems to be a lot of immature b*tching in this forum, so I posted on something I feel strongly about and may have something relevant to contribute.
So far I'm doing a masters in Aeronautics and Astronautics at University of Southampton and would like to become an airline pilot in my 30s after some work in the Police as a PC.
