Ryanair dissing Easy...

Just back from STN (where one of my travelling companions tried to chat up the passport checking woman and then quizzed the plod about their laser gunsights - the man knows no fear). I noticed, as we chuntered into the gate, that one of the Ryanairs parked alongside had "Bye Bye EasyJet" written on the side (in Easy's font too).

Is there a story behind this, or is it just a bit of O'Learyesque bravado?

Several of Ryanair's aircraft have the "bye bye" logo (some in foreign language) which target other airlines too.

"Arrivederci Alitalia" is an other one. Although I might have spelled "arrivederci" incorrectly, I'm not Italian!

I think they also did something like "Say no to BA fuel surcharge" or something like that a while back. Around the time Virgin (I think) protested about Heathrow slots with "No Way BA/AA" on some of theirs.
Disappointingly BA never responded by painting a couple of aircraft up with "**** The Lot Of You"

s'alright, the way Ryanair have apparently treated some of their maintenance providers over the years, I'm kinda surprised there aren't a lot of hangars with 'bye bye Ryanair 'emblazoned on them!
