One of the Ryans strengths is that it has encouraged the use of 'regional' airports which are underused by other commercial traffic. This makes them cheap and less prone to delays.
In the particular circumstances you are so callously refering to they benefit from being the only carrier needing to have bags scanned and pax to be security cleared, which obviously results in little delay and little cumulative effects.
Any airline that operates from busy international airports will be hit with huge delays whilst the airport struggles to cope with the new security measures.
Few Cloudy though is correct as easyJet have a policy of money back, free rebook there is no commercial advantage to be gained just some common sense operational decisions being made by those with significantly more knowledge of the airline operations enviroment than some of the posters on this thread.
Lets stop attacking each other and get on with supporting the common goal of a safe and vibrant operating enviroment.
