I would take this with a pinch of salt. Like all other "protection" or "peace of mind" schemes in life - you quickly learn they are not worth the paper they are written on.
From my experience - one thing FTOs like doing is giving refunds - they are quick to take money, but very shy when it comes to giving back.

Yes - you would expect more of a response - especially when more OAA students to to ryanair than ANY OTHER AIRLINE.
