Think you may have a few too many zeros in that, 7.2 billion euro, That's a lot of money. Wiki has his net worth at just over 1 Billion, still not peanuts. I use Ryanair as well as other airlines and as long as you double check everything make sure you print your boarding card and treat the airline as a bus I don't think you can complain too much considering the fares. Very annoying if you have been affected by their cancellations but luckily not any flights to our part of Spain. Disappointing to see Monarch go under after 50 years of trading but their business was primarily in Egypt and Tunisia and terrorism has played it's part in their demise. Hopefully at least there will be jobs for pilots within Ryanair but more difficult for other Monarch employees unless KPMG can sell it to another company.

I wonder if Ryanair will eventually go the same way as Lake,  Dan Dare (Dan Air) and even Monarch who it seems is teetering on the edge

I see Monarch is in bovver again, could it be the end of them? pity really, I thought they were the best cheapy we ever flew on.

Just to balance things up. We have lived here for over 10 years and use Ryanair 3/4 times a year to go to and from the UK. Not once have we had cause to complain about any of the flights in either direction, the aircraft are always clean, the attendants, considering the amount of work they have to do and the attitude of some of the passengers, are always helpful, the flights are on time, and for the price you pay, amazingly good value.

Looks like the Ryanair situation could get worse if the points made by this whistleblowing pilot are true and if they are it makes Sports Direct look like a good employer.

But just to lighten it a bit.

Spare a thought for poor ole Michael O'Leary, Chief Executive of Ryanair.

After arriving in a hotel in Manchester, he went to the bar and asked for a pint of Guinness.

The barman nodded and said, "That will be £1 please, Mr. O'Leary."

Somewhat taken aback, O'Leary replied, "That's very cheap," and handed over his money.

"Well, we do try to stay ahead of the competition", said the barman. "And we are serving free pints every Wednesday from 6 pm until 8 pm. We have the cheapest beer in England".

"That is remarkable value", Michael comments.

"I see you don't seem to have a glass, so you'll probably need one of ours. That will be £3 please."

O'Leary scowled, but paid up.

He took his drink and walked towards a seat. "Ah, you want to sit down?" said the barman. "That'll be an extra £2. You could have pre-booked the seat, and it would have only cost you £1."

"I think you may be too big for the seat sir, can I ask you to sit in this frame please".

Michael attempts to sit down but the frame is too small and when he can't squeeze in, he complains "Nobody would fit in that little frame".

"I'm afraid if you can't fit in the frame you'll have to pay an extra surcharge of £4 for your seat sir".

O'Leary swore to himself, but paid up. "I see that you have brought your laptop with you" added the barman. "And since that wasn't pre-booked either, that will be another £3."

O'Leary was so incensed that he walked back to the bar, slammed his drink on the counter, and yelled, "This is ridiculous, I want to speak to the manager".

"I see you want to use the counter," says the barman, "that will be £2 please."

O'Leary's face was red with rage. "Do you know who I am?"

"Of course I do Mr. O'Leary."

"I've had enough! What sort of a Hotel is this? I come in for a quiet drink and you treat me like this. I insist on speaking to a manager!"

"Here is his e-mail address, or if you wish, you can contact him between 9.00 am and 9.01am every morning, Monday to Tuesday at this free phone number. Calls are free, until they are answered, then there is a talking charge of only £1 per second, or part thereof".

"I will never use this bar again".

"OK sir, but do remember, we are the only hotel in England selling pints for £1."

Oh you're such a softy Hogs!

[byrney]

Or Hogs, that they know that there are numerous alternative flights going to/from the UK at Barcelona so will be easier to shift passengers onto those flights without the need for providing overnight accommodation etc.

[byrney]

At least all the Arboleas (and environs) folks know that they are not affected - unless curiously they fly to/from Barcelona!

[raysun]

A full list of flights and desitinations  of cancelled flights now available on web site . At least you will know if you are flying or if  you can book provided the pilots dont strike which they are considering as we speak.
mickey mouse has been promoted from PR  man to chairman.  i think i may be qualified to apply for pilots job as have been flying a few times recently.
