I don't hate RYR and there is nothing in any of my posts to suggest that I do. The term 'RYR haters' and 'RYR supporters club' were just convenient labelling terms for the two main groups of opinion. It's interesting that you pick up on this point more than other, more relevant, points I made.
I'll say again that I don't consider RYR to be a real airline, they fly point to point to cherry picked destinations. This is of absolutely no use to me what so ever, I need airlines with large route networks and quality backup services.
The legacy carriers seem to be a bit more forward thinking in their route planning as well, they regularly take huge hits on certain routes in order to strengthen sectors further down the line, this is especially important for someone like me living in provincial France away from a main hub. In recent years AusAir, LH and AF have all made significant efforts to pick up business from my locality with BA doing the same from FRA, I can get into these airlines networks with the first sector almost thrown in for free.
Like I said earlier I have nothing against RYR in the same way I don't have anything against McDonalds, National Express Coachlines, Brittany Ferries or the Manchester Bus Corporation. Their products are either unsuitable or I just don't like them.
