before everyone gets too carried away with the whole "We hate Ryanair" deal, why don't you just reflect on the fact that they will carry more passengers than BA next year, they carried only a couple of percent less than BA this year, they have probably the most modern fleet of any airline, they are the most profitable of all airlines, they are currently listed with a market cap of 6 billion dollars which is more than BA and would make them a firm FTSE 100 company if they were listed one the LSE and not dublin, and are recruiting more low hours pilots than anyone else in the immediate future.
But thats not the point of this thread, personally my biggest concern with Ryanair is their attitude towards their staff..and the exploitative practises that they employ. As a customer they are generally pretty good, although I still fly BA if I go anywhere as I live near LGW/LHR and they are just as cost effective
