Sir Anthony Ryan did that. O’Leary was just a goffer who in fact tried to persuade him to shut it down.
He got a share in the company from Ryan if he’d agree to babysit it and to try out Herb Kelleher’s new business model. Which worked well for him. Thank you Herb!
I see MOL in a very Trumpian style. A bigmouth who inherited money and a good idea, and believes he’s a genius for making it work. His minions regularly outwitted him to make Ryanair a success. He took the credit afterward. So like The Donald. A great self promoter if nothing else.
Don’t be taken in by the bluster.
Yeah, but he didn't copy the way Southwest treats its pilots and employees.
