Well, I was thinking, easyJet tickets are hardly cheap anymore, as someone has posted in another thread. So they're not really a competition to BA anymore, as well, the way they're going. I just thought BA might have had a hand in it all somewhere. Or maybe the managements of both have come to a mutual agreement, or mutual understanding!

All the other regional players seem to have melted away, except Flybe, an airline that I rate among the worst. What about Eastern? It maybe just fills a niche that no-one else wants to.

Over in Geneva, near where I am based, easyJet has been the main player for a number of years. But SWISS are very much into expanding their presence in GVA at the moment. BA is also present, except that LGW is only served during the Winter months. So here, they compete directly with EZY, and I reckon offer better fares for the service provided.
