Really? That's news to me. I can get return flights on Easyjet from London to Lyon or Marseille for under £60 return all in. Tell me where I can find BA revenue tickets to either of these destinations for that kind of money. last I looked, the very cheapest BA fares on those routes were over twice that price (£133 and up).

There are some factors that have changed quite a bit since the early 200s for Easyjet: Easyjet has matured and is now more established and wants to promote a more business-friendly image. The high jinks of the Stelios era, when Easyjet was establishing/consolidating itself and needed all the publicity it could, made sense at the time but do not correspond to the current positioning of Easyjet.
