Brabazon is right. Sound bite time again at Mick O'Leary land.
At a recent Fund Managers seminar (the same one where he made the infamous 'I raped Boeing' comment) he proudly boasted that he gets his airline in the media headlines at least once a week by saying something controversial. Free advertising was the point he said, and there is no such thing as bad 'free' publicity.
Try to ignore him, he might eventually shut up.
