EI did well last winter against the increased capacity and the exact same this year will happen. EI dont drop prices to compete with FR dumping capacity. They will continue to manage capacity.
FR have cancelled some increased capacity this winter to the UK already!
As for forcing them off routes when did they last manage that at DUB, Note they decided to join FR on two routes this year so already not bothered by FR dumping capacity on routes and FR have failed to get rid of them in previous years also.
FR dump capacity and realize they are going no where so decide to make money and put up with EI.
You are right about managment etc but thats good news in the eyes of passengers ans most employees!
