Or is it simply so irritating? I wonder how much will it influence the sales, I bet pretty much.
Quite agree with you. Only traffic data we have since it was introduced is November and it shows a traffic decline of 8%. Of course it's mainly due to winter cancelations but given such capacities reductions, it's quite strange to see their LFs are actually flat... U2 at same time benefited a lot from FR reductions with a 2.6pp LF increase. I would be curious to see Ryanair forward LFs but given how ennoying it is, I wouldn't be surprise if it costs them around 2p of LF per month, we'll see it from Apr onwards probably when they have less aicraft sleeping at airports
