Question

Yeah, MOL is a real idiot, I mean he's CEO of an airline that has an operating margin of 25% compared to the industry average amongst the top 150 airlines of 4.2%!!! BA's by the way was 1.57% Ryanairs profit margin is 23% again remarkable when the industry average is 1.1% BA'a was -1.34%.

The Return On Equity for Ryanair is 20% while BA's is -.44% telling you that Ryanair are far more effective at using reinvested earnings to generate additional earnings, in other words they're putting good money back into the company while BA simply don't have the money to do that as their margins are so low. The only companies that have a bigger Mkt Cap than Ryan are Southwest and Lufthansa group that includes all Lufthansas ancillary services like Lufthansa maintenance etc.

So, yeah, what a total idiot!! Imagine having the cheek to be running Europes most successful airline and becoming a multi millionaire in the process....

Puzzling how certain groups in the aviation business think....
