I'm no great fan of Ryanair, and MOL in particular, but for those who are rubbing their little hands in undisguised glee over the programme there may just be one point you wish to bear in mind.

To Joe Public, Ryanair is virtually indistinguishable from any other airline, so if Dispatches do a hatchet job on FR, then they do a hatchet job on us all. Any doubts raised about the safety of lo-co travel, or crew competence, will be applied across the board (and not just in lo-co). After all, one a/c or airline is pretty much the same as any other a/c or airline to the uninitiated.

Don't think so? Well, how many times have you seen the lobotomised drooling morons come tumbling out the terminal and wander off to the a/c of their choice, despite the fact the one right in front of them has the airline logo plastered down the side in 6 foot letters and the other one hasn't. It happens with monotonous regularity.
