Ryanair dont own or run/service the baggage scales
so I would guess the agents should be in trouble not the Airline,
or once again is the media picking on Ryanair, would we be saying
the same if the story was about a flag carrier.
Since ryr employ any number of illegal methods in dealing with the staff and in other assorted areas of the operation, why would they be any different with the punters?
The micko method is to do whatever he wants, then rely on the lawyers to sort out whatever sanctions come his way. This strategy explains why many Irish law firms have refused to further represent ryr - his refusal to listen to their advice and to constantly break laws has made their position untenable.
But hey, what's a little illegality when his marketing department tells you you're paying only 1c (even when you're obviously not)?
