I don't really like RyanAir (I agree it is a personal and irrationnal opinion) so I don't mind them loosing any suit but what I find strange is, why everyone is flaming Ryanair and not the locals managers given them the money.
You are a private airline company manager, and you succeed in someone else paying your costs!
Why won't you do it??
The question is why locals airports managers and 'Chambre de Commerce' pay public money to support one private local carrier?
Response to that question would put things more to the point, IMHO .
