Most likley they will be switching over like TUIs planes do
More to do with the seating configs.For example Jet Blue 321Ns would be a perfect fit for BHX. Yet they have a relatively high number of MINT business class seats for a narrow body, probably too many for BHX to fill.

Maybe Ryanair might add some more citybreak destinations....like CPH, FCO and CRL et al. Those two extra units gotta go somewhere
It's what O Leary likes to do Forget the Passengers rather than being cheaper than easyJet just try to force out competition. The only thing I can compare this is to is a bus route by me for years NX ran the 333 from Walsall to Wolverhampton via Darlaston, Lodge Farm and Willenhall, Arriva had the 9 that ran to Willenhall and did a different loop of Stroud Aveune (Lodge Farm) went Left instead of right, then there was Sandwell Travel who followed the NX 333 as far as Willenhall. Arriva, Sandwell and Thandi also competed with NX on the 334 now 34 from Bilston to Walsall. Sandwell had to give it up as they got banned. Arriva got took over by Diamond and NX changed the number to the 34 Thandi kept the 334. Sandwell would still Operate the 333X and for a time where the only Operator between Walsall and Willenhall Via Darlaston. NX withdrew years ago. Now when I went to school I knew most of the drivers who all told me they would be leaving to join Thandi to operate the 311 which was competition with NX. Thandi then however or NX first ran the 37 to replace the 40 from Walsall to Willenhall Via Darlaston and Lodge Farm the 37 replacing the 40 most people caught the Sandwell bus as it was cheaper and NX were replaced by Thandi. Who using the former Sandwell Drivers and were accepting Sandwell Tickets and would run in front of them. For a while I would remain the only kid on the 333 most of my mates caught the 37. Until eventually both operators raced with each other and Sandwell went bust. Thandi remained the solo operator. Still Operating the 334 with NX running thee 37 Evening and Sunday Service. Eventually Thandi went bust and NX now have the 37. But my point is Airlines much like that whole Bus battle don't care about Passengers they want to make money. If one of them operators had decided to extend to serve Wolverhampton or serve the unserved part of Stroud Aveune and even Walsall Manor Hospital they may have made more money but they didn't it wasn't great for passengers because neither Thandi or Sandwell ran to time. NX did but were only brief both operators used Battered old Buses whilst NX used 11 year old at the time but refurbished buses. Ryanair are like the annoying competitor an airline starts a route say BHX to Oslo and Ryanair suddenly sends it's brand new MAX8-200's offers More flights and lower at first fares. More people will fly with them say taking EasyJet or SAS of the route. Ryanair has it all to themselves so out go the MAX's in go the older 737-800's, the fares become more expensive and Frequencies or Times change. So the Passenger is inconvenienced. Ryanair whilst Good for BHX are also invasive. If the route to say Oslo just had SAS and for some reason didn't work then Ryanair could try there hand at it. But it is the way O'Leary has and will always do things.
