Landing with flaps 10 means the crew apparently did not have time to select a lower flap setting as they were too busy trying to land the mother.

100% sure they heard "too low flaps" somewhere on final.

I guess MOL has created a kind of corporate atmosphere at Ryanair in which it is highly undesireable to make a go-around since this costs too much money, thereby compromising safety.

The pilots at Ryanair are the same kind of people as we are, exept that they have O'Liary breathing down their necks. It might be that the current internal situation, mainly caused by the FR management, has a contributing factor in this.

I would be cautious to blame it solely on the flight crew.
