I wonder though has EZY vs WW brought on a price war resulting in unsustainable pricing by the airlines, but fares to good to refuse for the travelling public. Thus resulting in a reduction in passengers to BCN, MJV, the Canaries etc.

Are these low prices distorting what was a mature market?? Same thing happened when EI competed on the AMS, NCE and CDG. After EI pulled these routes, capacity and loads seemed to settle back and return to 'normal'. Obviously two carriers couldn't make those routes work, is there room for WW if charging sustainable fares on the routes they are now competing in. They could well be, but guess none of us are privy to that information just yet.
