And as an aside lets not be comparing apples and oranges either. MOL got his 189 seat aircraft at rock bottom prices and has accelerated their depreciation taking advantage of a lucrative company tax regime in Ireland. Legacy carriers would have paid a lot more for smaller aircraft eg: BA. Taking a USD10m price differential as an example that is a lot of extra seats to be filled. Then there are lower maintenance costs on newer machines, air stairs etc etc.
