They do take certain short cuts, for example it's clear they don't check life jackets at every turnaround, because they don't have time. Whilst this particular transgression may not seem major (maybe other airlines do the same ?) but to any entity investigating a mishap this would be judged as being a 'culture' and if they don't check that what else don't they check ?
I don't think RYR are less safe than other airlines but if they had an incident they would be under the spotlight very severely. Read my post again (this is important in management
) I said 'perceived' shortcuts and it's true the public do perceive that RYR take short cuts.
