@ Aisle2c, yes I agree with you, it's often crossed my mind that a lot of Ryanair's seat sales must come under the heading of below cost sales which
AFAIK is illegal. However I doubt if the Gov can do much about the situtation at Cork as it would breach EU rules on free market economy and that sort of stuff. Also Wizz brought this on themselves to a certain extent. They made some uncomplmentry comments about FR when Fr took over a lot of the Malev routes out of Budapest; the one thing you don't want to do is to antagonise FR unless you have the muscle and the staying power to see it through.
