No, we don't. Facts - useful things when trying to structure an argument...
Our business model is very different to yours, as you well know. Ryanair, like all profitable airlines, operate in a niche market - and we don't. However, we reckon that in our market we're doing ok, and there's plenty of scope to do a lot better. And we reckon our market is a lot larger than yours.
How we, as pilots, choose to spend our £400/£600 of income a year is just that - our choice. If you are so concerned that it is a waste of money, why not come here and campaign against other wastes of money, like say lottery tickets?
I'm very happy for you that you're making a fortune. I sincerely hope that you buck the current trend and stop having very close shaves with the ground, and manage to persuade the world that you're not the bunch of cold calling driveway tarmacers that you are currently portrayed as. It does
our reputation no good, you know old chap.
Good luck!
