Well said, Flintstone. I also admit to being a "Ryanair knocker".
It is NOT because I am anti-low-cost carriers. Far from it. I would love a job with Go or easyJet! It is purely because I am implacably opposed to what I have seen and heard of Ryanair's policies and practices which, as far as I can see, differ dramatically from those of Go and easyJet.
