Of all the things that MOL tends to fudge most is numbers, He consistently stretches the truth.

For instance on the add for pilot recruitment on this site he claims 150 new 737's

Actually it is 100 new 737's

With the option for 50 more

and this 100 includes delivery positions already assigned to Ryanair so the real number is somewhere around 89 (It is hard to figure out exactly because Ryanair are lying and Boeing are being a little vauge on their website)

In any case 89 or whatever it is, is not 150

Airfares: How many people actually get on a flight with Ryanair paying the advertised fare? who knows, but from my experience not many.

Accounting practices a bit iffy, does this surprise anyone?

This kind of behaviour could well kill the Goose that laid the golden egg, just look at Enron and the accounting done by Arthur Andersen.
