I almost booked EZY to TFS in September as well, but have seen the light.
As a new ish member of the community I apologise to fellow FT'ers, and seek forgiveness.
No need to appologise. Since BA removed Fast Track from MAN and then from INT-DOM flight connections at LHR and then the sardinisation of the short haul Airbus fleet and now the no seat selection or OB points on HBO I too have been using Ryanair and easyJet. I must admit that I am not a fan of Ryanair (I tend to use EI for my DUB flights rather than FR) and will choose easyJet over FR as I find their onboard service and general ambience much more agreeable.
I still use BA on short haul but only when I need to be in London before/after heading to/from Europe.
