I wonder if, per chance, the "two members of the public" who had little better to do than try to rubbish Ryanair, are also to be found amongst the various Ryanair Bashing threads that we see from time to time on these forums?
I don't know whether or not FR fiddles their on time statistics by one or more devious means. What I do know from annecdotal experience is that whilst waiting for flights at Stansted there seem to be many more tannoy apologies for delays to EZY flights, than there are Ryanair. Whats more, when you scan the arrivals screens FR flights do seem quite punctual.
