Commit-
In a way yes.They are forced into this position by the earlier judgment call.
They moved from LTN and put all their eggs in one basket-- STN.
It had all the space,was nicely subsidised by the BAA from Heathrow and Gatwick so they got the deal they wanted.
Easy on the other hand filled LTN with approx 16 based units then moved to find other expansion opportunities around London(LGW ,now SEN)
Ryanair stayed focused on STN then or simply werent prepared to pay the fees elsewhere.
So why they watch Easy slowly expand around London they can only stand and watch until BAA sell off STN and have a good moan in the meantime.
Nothing new there really
