Ryanair! Dontchalov'em? Theres nowt wrong with trying to persuade the airports to give them the 50% discount discussed here. Trying to get off with half the fees you have already been charged on the other hand, is something quite different.
Perhaps it makes a little more sense when read alongside Ryanairs 'recruitment' policy. You know, application £50, sim ride £150, type rating £15,000 etc. Then there is the matter of the £6,800 start salery for junior F/O's.
Anyone else see the ghost of a trend developing here?
