Please somone correct me if any of the statements below are incorrect:
- The masks and/or gloves in question cost a few pounds/euros
- The masks and/or gloves in question are provided in sealed bags - assuming the bags are not opened they are good for many months
- A new passenger plane costs $50-200 MILLION
- The marginal costs per flight (fuel / landing charges / crew wages / ....) are considerable
The cost, per flight, of providing DOZENS of these masks/gloves is fractions of a penny - compared to the tens of thousands of pounds/euros that the flight costs to lay on. I guess thats the value that MOL and RYR management put on the life of one of their passengers (guess they can't complain once they're 6 feet under).
By my standards the above statement is outrageously provocative - but, in this case, it's how I feel. I would love someone from the company to explain to me why I should change the above - I am always open to more information.

P.S. This does assume that the kit was not on board. If it was then the crew training needs looking at.
