Raising funds...
Random question...
Ryanair currently have 1.1B shares outstanding. Why not propose a share offering to raise funds to help provide a larger safety cushion. Offering another 50M shares will dilute the shareholders by 5 odd percent which is negligible considering the potential for price growth over the next 5 years. It will give the company another £850M cash and make a reduction in Type rating costs more feasible for the company from a financial standpoint. At the current price it will take 56,000 cadet TR contracts to raise that much cash...
Shareholders will be happier in the long term with the safety net for the next year or so of volatility and Ryanair will have a huge queue of cadets queuing up to apply with a less constrictive barrier to entry. Win win for everyone, no?
