I agree it might be spin but if any Airline will go ahead with an order it would be Ryanair we all know they dont like following the flock, Spin or no spin can B & A take the risk in a very slow market.
As for Ryanair moving from the one size fits all fleet I agree 100% but I hope they look at smaller and larger Aircraft, Europe is almost covered by low cost Airlines, It must be getting to the time where Ryanair look again at Mid to longhaul flights,"maybe under another name" using Ryanair as a feeder.
We are starting to see a move by National carriers in the East Starting up New Airlines based on a longhaul lowcost model and it wont be long until this trend hits Europe and the UK.
Ryanair are now doing very well in the Uk Holiday market and continue to move away from smaller out of town Airports but what next ?
