Also that they only allow 15Kg baggage and 5kg (I think) hand. Anything over that is charged extra.

I also understand (from PPRuNe) that applicants for flying posts have to pay a fee to register their cv with the carrier. On more than one occasion (I understand) the airline has wiped their database of people that have applied and if you want to get back on - then you pay a second time.

At the other end of the scale, MoL is on record as encouraging his staff to pick up freebie pens from hotels and other places, so as to save on the stationery costs.

Ryan Air are genuinely profitable. Do not forget that they built it to be cheap from the ground up - the big carriers are trying to reduce and that is very difficult to do.

MoL is fanatical and he will continue to win. The day he can confirm that he has carried more pax in a year than BA, you will see the biggest splurge of advertising and news that you have seen in a long while.
