Well in the "Brandpunt" programme that interviewed O'Leary after the KRO programmes were broadcast, MOL stated categorically that Ryanair was taking legal action (even though the interviewer asked him "when?")
Surely he must be telling the truth?........

I worry when a pilot says he pays corporation tax, i doubt you work (ie do any work) other than for Ryanair, you wear a Ryanair uniform, Ryanair set your roster, in my book you work for them, now we all know about agencies and "supply" companies, but don't you find it rather odd that a company the size of FR operates in this way, there can be only one reason and that is that its cheaper for FR to get you to jump through all these convoluted hoops, i suspect that the majority of risk in these questionable, but legal practices falls upon the employee, ultimately the rules will catch up, FR are not being clever they are being devious if they can't operate properly they should give up, the employee's may well reap what the employers has sown.

Interesting to see the way that the Spanish government is tackling air competition from Ryanair (apart from attempting court cases, that is). Just googled fares and times from Valencia to Seville by Ave and Ryanair. Taking into account two hold bags (on Ave you can take 3 per person), the rail fare is slightly cheaper and, allowing 30 minutes each side for travel to and from airports, the journey time door to door is exactly the same - 3hr 30 min. Lots of adverts in the Spanish press and on Renfe's site trumpeting new lower fares. He's going to lose his internal Spanish flights without doubt - I give it a year!

Passenger journeys of between 400 and 800 km will overwhelmingly prefer high speed rail where it is an option.
It is irrefutable that unlike Iberia, AVE will more than cover its costs. Ryanair makes hay whilst the sun shines.
LAX-SFO only 400 miles and 7 million PAX. High speed train what's keeping you?
