DC10FAN,
I think you're missing the point of what Batty is trying to say. Befree suggests Ryanair is "cheating" by extending the schedule by 5 minutes. That's total nonsense. If Befree is right with the 8 and 13 minutes average delay times, then he's only proving the opposite.....Easyjet is cheating by trying to compete with Ryanair through advertising 5 minutes shorter flight times....and as a result not being able to make their scheduled flight time by averagely 5 minutes more than Ryanair.
I'll repeat what Batty was trying to say:
Save the Ryan bashing this is just mud slinging for mud slingings sake.
