I didn't say... become successful... I said.. become one of the largest.... largest and successful.... they're not the same thing. United is large, but would you consider it very successful financially?

3rd largest in Europe and profitable. No major airports. Just an example (I think flying Ryanair is one of the worst experiences personally).

I never used to fly with Ryanair but heard the same as you experienced. But in fact you cannot be that big if people wont fly with you.

They WILL fly with you if you're cheap enough, even if you fly them on the route Cologne-London Stansted instead of Frankfurt-LHR. The only business you won't be able to take is the one with the connections for international flights.

...and the executives on business trips with their companies paying for them, and those people who like to enjoy their trips and don't mind paying more money.
