Look at where we are in the world in terms of economy. In the employment sector if we do not like our jobs we go somewhere else and this is happening in all facets of industry. So many industries looking for staff and they are just nowhere to be found.
The shareholders patience will eventually run out and they will want an improved product. The started this a few years ago with the nicey nicey feel but MOL just can't help himself.
It's frankly naive and short sighted to think Michael O'Leary is the boggie man you want him to become. Ryanair is run by a board and executive leadership team, and not O'Leary. He may be the guy wheeled out to media press conferences and the guy says it as is is, no bullsh!t, no sugar coated, no airy fairy woolie language. But of course some folks can't take that direct blunt tone, cause it cuts through the crap and gets to the heart of the debate and issues. At the end of the day, he's a hard nosed businessman and he's been a huge part of building the successful expansion at Ryanair and the thousands of jobs ultimately created and their welcomed aggressive competition to force airfares downwards. There is no doubt, air travel across Europe wouldn't be what it is today but for likes of Ryanair (and some others too). This dispute will blow over, it will get resolved and lessons will be learned and Ryanair will continue growth and deliver superior shareholder value and returns to the investment market. That's king in today's fast paced investor market.
