And you really think a company like easyJet signed up to a ten year contract without any sort of break clause for unsatisfactory performance?
Out of interest, when EZY (or most other airlines for that matter) drop a route elsewhere, say STN/LTN/LGW, are you honestly suggesting they don't introduce something new or increase frequency on an existing route to replace and the only reason they don't leave the aircraft sitting around doing nothing is because they're contractually obliged not to?
Not sure on number of destinations now compared to the start as I don't keep count but I'd have thought it's probably increased.
I'd also suggest 800,000 is being exceeded, perhaps consult the CAA stats to find out.
