There are just too many actions by Ryanair that give rise to concern. To also allow them to suppress free comment is a step too far. It is interesting that IALPA, the pilots' association closest to Ryanair's Head Office, has started to call for a "Whistleblower's Charter". Surely it must be obvious to all that there really is information out there that cannot be used unless the reporter is protected?
At the same time the airline concerned uses the law to ensure that anyone who facilitates free comment is gagged. This is not to say that some posters may be a bit over the top from time to time, but is the important thing not the level and extent of those who clearly feel strongly that there is something wrong with Ryanair? Ryanair and the use of legal threats is a byword in the industry - are we really to believe that an organisation that behaves properly would need to make such extensive use of lawyers?
As for those who have been labelled "Ryanair Bashers" ... is one a "basher" if what one says helps the reader to spot the rotten foundations?
I think that PPRuNe should not allow itself to be silenced or censored.
