RogerIrrelevant69, thank you for that point you have made in your second paragraph. Objectivity!
None of us are claiming that Ryanair are unsafe even though the C4 programme will try to persuade Joe Public otherwise. We all know that the issue of the 'open book' exam or the checking of the passports or clearing up vomit in the aisle or storing gashbags in the loo are just going to be hyped up in the usual media manner accompanied by dramatic music or a serious sounding voiceover with scenes of disaster spliced into it.
No, we are not saying Ryanair is unsafe. What those of us on here are happy about with this programme is the fact that it will highlight the sh!te man management that goes on at Ryanair. It will hopefully highlight the bullying and ripping off of their staff that goes on. The atmosphere of intimidation towards their employees and lack of customer care or attention is what we should be rejoicing about.
So, will the amateur lawyers and amateur TV critics please put their tackle back in their pants and stop harping on about Ryanair suing C4 or any of the other cr@p about secret documents being published. It is not about that. It is about the practices of making the Ryanair employees pay through their noses for everything that is considered normal elsewhere. It is the the exposure of the Ryanair spin machine and the total warping of the truth by their vicious and bullying management.
Ryanair pilots are well trained and are safe. The cabin crew, who knows? The programme will highlight all the issues that MOL and his cronies try to brush aside with bull manure and spin to reveal, hopefully, the retrograde practices adopted by Ryanair management. The amateur lawyers/producers/TV critics can all bog off as far as I and my fellow pilots are concerned. They're not the ones going to be affected by bad management and even worse employer/employee relations as practiced in Ryanair. It is the rest of us who have to worry about them trying to get their bad practice accepted as the norm.
