For the poster with the username "Dougal McGuire:"
The point about the Irish Airline in trouble was made on Radio in Ireland this morning by an experience aviation consultant with a doctorate in transportation.
I agree with your point about Ryanair. My earlier post was in response to this from the poster calling him or herself "Desk Pilot:" As opposed to flakey Irish carriers offering the worst service in the air."
And finally, may I congratulate you on choosing an extremely appropriate username.
