To wiccan and others, the point of the opening post was to highlight the sheer idiocy of the author of the article in the Independent newspaper in trying to assert that what is standard practice in ATC/Airline operation was somehow seen as a unique and favorable arrangement with Ryanair. He, the so-called journalist, seemed to think that this piece of information was an 'exclusive' scoop.
It was a badly done and amateur botch of a completely non newsworthy event.
There is no need to pursue the item any further. Let it die a natural death!
