Bagso - admire your usual enthusiasm but your interpretation is definitely in the 'glass half empty' category this time.
You don't need to base an extra plane to increase services.
In fact it may suit MAN to have out-based aircraft doing services in non-peak hours rather than a couple of new based units ramming up an already creaking peak time infrastructure.
Like it or not EZY's big opportunity this year is LGW, they'd be mad not to take it.
