Ok sports fans back to the programme!!!!

Firstly Ryanair do offer SOME low fares, thats where it ends for the pax because they try and do screw as much cash out of you for everything else. They make money on the taxes, £3 credit card fee, when a company like Ryanair is handling a lot of money and probably pays no more than 1.5 % of the transaction in fees. Thes theres the on-board stuff, drinks, tea, coffe, sambos all which cost a fraction of the charge and theres super margins. Forgot about checkin! You have your baggage allowance, but you go over that and the low paid workers in check in will pounch on you and charge excess baggage rates, whoever gets the highest at the end of the day gets to go home early or at the end of the month might win a poxy voucher

All in all, Ryanair is here to make money, and make money they do. Now I admire MOL and the way he does business, but I dont admire the way he gives out about Aer Rianta, Boeing, the Government, etc, anyone who crosses him all in the name of his passengers when he cant even treat his staff well enough. Ryanair will be left standing after others have collapsed, but at what price, pax are not stupid and will only take so much from MOL.
