H & S. You say RYR has lost many top level people. You say there are too many people left who are copying an old model. Doesn't sound too good.
10 years ago RYR had a model and only 20a/c. They now have 165 a/c going on 300. Is there anybody in DUB who has any idea of how to run such a large airline? It would be a disaster if they try to use a model suitable for 2 bases and 20 a/c when they have 20 bases and 165 ever increasing a/c. It is said they are now the world's largest airline in terms of pax carried over borders. If that is true it therefore means operating in many different cultures, local regulations, differing pax preferences, crews and a/c spread over wide areas etc. etc. If their model is still based on that of a small flying club, and there is no-one at the top with any experience or idea of how to develop and nurture such a hungry beast, then the future is very uncertain. The world around RYR has changed significantly in the past 6 years. Has their approach to it adjusted sufficiently?
