Before the predictable tirade of Ryanair abuse begins, and the shrill squeaks of the terminally aggrieved rise to their customary crescendo, a review of the facts are in order. This man shouldn't have been flying at all, having suffered the death of a child in very recent days preceding this incident. The question is, why was he flying? His decision to report for duty is the relevant issue here. Once again, individual responsibility, or something that Ryanair is somehow responsible for? As maxalt, Minuteman and the evidently state educated Dim Repa are doubtless sharpening their talons as I type, I'll be brief. Subsequent to the incident, the crew was suspended pending investigation. They both received professional counselling, both were assigned a significant period of simulation to regain their confidence and composure and both have been returned to line flying. Hardly the conduct of an uncaring irresponsible employer, eh max?
