   Can I remind you that BAA didn't "bow" to easyJet either and probably lost   
   up to 10 based aircraft at Glasgow and Edinburgh.   
      
   As far as I can see Ryanair are fulfilling their end of the bargain with   
   every airport.  They deliver an average of about 150 passengers per flight.   
   It is up to the airport to make money from all those pax.
