I wouldn't say that I think pax who fly with Ryanair are lesser mortals, but I do believe that some of them are rather inexperienced and possibly naive, judging by the stories in the media.
I fly about twice per week, more in busy times and have been travelling frequently since 1978, so think I have a reaonable view on airlines.
Suffice it to say that I use Ryanair as a carrier of last resort.
easyJet, however, have caused me to re-evaluate my view on them, because of their excellent new policy regarding cancelled and disrupted flights, which I recently experienced.
I will now use easyJet as a preferred carrier, as they can be relied on when the chips are down.
