When we're those bookings for flights in November made Alex... before the banking world/economy fell apart in late September or before??

Thank God the pound isn't at an all time low vs the Euro.... those European breaks are going to be soooo much cheaper than last year.... everyone is going to be scrabbling to get over to Europe now the £ is so strong.

How many jets do Ryanair currently have parked up for the winter to get the load factor up? (I honestly don't know the answer to this one).

Glad to hear things are going so well at Easy that they haven't got rid of the CTC cadets after a 6 month stint at the airline... oh... but they did bin them!?? how does that work if passenger numbers are expected to keep growing??.

Is there not a recruitment freeze at Easy? How many pilots do you think Ryanair will take on in the next 12 months??

Stop driving looking in the rear view mirror... it is dangerous. But I admire your (misplaced) optimism.... it has served this country well for a long time and will no doubt be needed in coming months.... but to say this isn't the worst down turn in the aviation industry for at least 20-30 years is starting to sound like pathetic marketing Alex and it is a bit insulting to those who have already lost their jobs to say traffic numbers a still going up.
