I'm sorry I just think that is an odd point of view.

Ryanair do have substantial cash reserves I agree, but MOL is hardly the type of person to throw them away unless he has to.

Quite frankly I trust the judgement of the airlines (in conjunction with other members of the industry such as the engine manufacturers) far more than that of contributors to this thread.

I guess we'll have to wait and see if BA have just thrown away 50 or so multi million pound engines as all these aircraft come in, or whether they had a fair idea what they were doing, i.e. the thing they have been doing very successfully under one name or another for the best part of a century, flying people safely around the globe, (at times through areas of volcanic activity).
