  • Back in 2009 the self-righteous BBC took it upon themselves to tell us, the British public, that we all hate Ryanair and created a 30 minute special trying to justify it. The fact that this airline enabled my kids to see most of western Europe before they left school for virtually sweet FA was by and large missed! Anyway you don't create in 30 years from virtually nothing, the largest carrier in Europe without being one sharp cookie! Panorama sent a lamb to the slaughter and came out mincemeat on all fronts. Maybe some significant BA shareholders high in the BBC back then??..... Alas, the video hangs for a minute or two halfway through from the source recording but audio remains fine

      That's a bit unfair. Programs have time slots. Ever heard of 'filibustering'? He could waffle on off the points the program is about, forcing them to choose between ditching the program or wrecking the program with a bloated interview. Many interviews are edited, the question is whether that leaves your relevant answers fairly represented or not. Depends how it's done.

      In the olden days Airlines, manufacturers and suppliers worked together to make flying a very expensive proposition kept for only the upper middle class and upper class in each country. What annoys these suppliers is the new model of negotiating a deal without considering the desires of the other party. O'Leary is famous for coining the word "aerosexuals" to describe people who confer an aura of mytique on aviation and its ancillary work sectors. A mystique which existed in the early postwar period and survived until Reagan era deregulation in the 1980's.
      Now you have a situation where mission critical parts of the industry are attended to such as fleet age and maintenance and all other former practices such as free meals and drinks and free baggage and generous allowances are got rid of.
      Ryanair has never had a fatal crash. If they do that will be the end of them and well they know that.
      Another thing they do not do is guarantee you will make connections. They style themselves as a point-to-point airline so you need to make allowances for that in planning your trips.

      Many Irish people hate being told the truth about anything and prefer oily politeness and false praise in their dealings with others.
      Micheal O'Leary is not like that. This abrasiveness and lack of hypocrisy and use of corporate jargons and cant gets up some peoples noses and bursts their bubbles. They then get angry.
      Much worse is the DAA supremo who has caused a shitstorm at Dublin Airport recently and the idiot politicians who allowed him to let go 100's of security staff during the COVID panic 2 years ago.

The last couple of minutes where he schooled the BBC that they could have got there to see him more cheaply via Ryanair was priceless.
