So here we go again. Yet again, we've sailed ever so close to the wind and once again, by extraordinary luck, there wasn't a smoking hole. However, the regulator has "no safety recommendations" to make. Which begs the question, exactly how much broken metal has to there to be before a proper and thorough audit of ryanair is done?
The simplistic answer, which is of course rIAAanair and assorted fellow travellers such as Leo would have us believe is the correct one, is that the pilots once again screwed up and that the company is squeky clean.
Were the IAA and ryanair not effectively the same organisation, someone might be asking the question as to why it is ryanair pilots that are regularly narrowly avoiding smearing aircraft across terra firma. Yes, ryanair is a big airline, with a lot of flights so statistically, things will happen. HOWEVER, there are many many other big airlines in Europe, of both the traditional and low-pay variety, who also have large numbers of daily flights but manage to avoid the regular monotonous procession of near-accidents.
This following is almost certainly the main cause. It is the ryanair rush and pressure mentality. Every minute extra on the ground counts because the turn-around is so tight and people are scared of being away late. The pressure, both implicit (rumours of threats, knowledge of supposed expectations etc) and explicit (don't board while refueling: get demoted; totally inadequate check-in times etc etc), is on you to never be late, never compromise the schedule.
The IAA claims to be unaware of this situation, which proves they are either monumentally incompetant or in league with ryanair. I suspect both.
