aisle2c - Wizz have done the same to some of Ryanair's routes in the past in Eastern Europe, and have also recruited several ex Ryanair staff in order to attempt to wager a war against them also - see my post in the Ryanair thread.
There are pros and cons to both carriers, but Wizz have even more extra charges than Ryanair despite their claims that they are more friendly than FR.
EI-EIDW - All very well but the problem with W6 is they have quite a narrow passenger demographic compared to FR on Polish routes, you go and ask your average non Polish person in Ireland if they have heard of Wizz, they haven't and this is why FR may feel they can make such routes work. W6 have quite poor brand recognition in Western Europe, apart from amongst those who have emigrated from Eastern Europe to Western Europe, they do it seems, have stronger brand recognition in Eastern Europe than Ryanair.
In any case we'll see who wins and such competition will be good for the passenger at the end of the day. This is what a free market brings, you will always have such competition between airlines, isn't this the whole argument about why FR should not buy EI because one airline on a route would be bad for consumers?
