Hello,
I'm in agreement about Ryanair on these points; the fact that you have to incur ANY costs to make them money is a bloody joke!!
Having said that, Ryanair do pay well when bonuses, shares etc are included, so we can't be too harsh on them I suppose ;-)
None the less, I would hate to see their practices setting an industry standard and I hope Ryanair staff develop a bit more fighting power over the coming years to prevent the spread of this kind of nonsense around the industry.
Just my 2 cents!
