Nikolai! Ryanair are NOT going bankrupt anytime soon. However, the speed of their expansion will be dwarfed by the current economic situation and, in my opinion, they will have to pay for the one-sideness of the firm's marketing policy. People from Poland would run naked? Some of them, perhaps. But they are mostly poor people representing the working class (UK-PL routes). The carrier should try to address much broader spectrum of potential customers, to see some progress. Btw., even the Polish routes will suffer from the current economic downtrend.

If I was managing an airline right now, I'd sleep much better being a director in Ryanair than I would if I held the same position in WW or EZ.
True. Nevertheless the LF's and especially yields simply MUST be better. And again, the planes
are coming.
