FRatSTN,
It is often true that easyJet do avoid head to head intenseccompetition. However, they are commercially savy and don't see the point is wasting resource on business that is not fruitful.
Equally, it is fair to say that the two are very much equals on many routes, such as many ex LPL and BRS, incidentally airports where the easyJet operation is lsrgervthan FR.
Easyjet management recognise the carriers that have lower cost bases, and avoid too much battles with these. That said plenty happening v Vueling in Rome... There are much more fruitful markets v legacy carriers from primary airports etc.
