FR

Ballsout

Look at it a slightly different way. Look at FR at manchester.
If they did base at ncl and were given cheaper rates then easyjet and flybe wouldn't expand as it would be unfair to them.
After a few years ncl would try to increase charges and FR would then leave if they didn't get what they needed.
By this time the airport would then have to crawl back to the likes of easyjet and jet2.

As for dtv getting FR I can't see it. They couldn't fill the planes on the routes they had.
Think dtv need a smaller airline first FR have to big aircraft. Dtv needs to start making some money before they charge next to nothing to get FR to base!

Could be wrong with the above what do you guys think? FR at ncl would be good to get pax numbers up but would need to be treated the same as the other airlines!!
