If you think you have something sensible and interesting to say, or even have a valid point, please write it in a format we can all understand.
Have a nice day!
I think what he/she said is very sensible. It's how one chooses to read it that make you decide how sensible it is or not . In my case the points made by the contributer make alot of sense and the questions they ask are something that Ryanair failed to answer during the initial stages of the recent bid.

MOL is the master of acting like a politician when interviewed, in that he rarely answers the question being asked. A magazine article that I recently read comes to mind in which the author researched the art of hypnosis. In it they say that if you tell someone something often enough, whether it's true or not they will eventually begin to believe it. This seems to always be the case when I hear MOL being interviewed, and is also the way in which alot of our collective politicians act. This was highlighted to me by viewing one commentator ask him as simple question as to why if he felt Aer Lingus was 'doomed' did he feel the need to take it over and pay money for it. A sensible question which was evidently sidetracked with no answer and returned with spin as an alternative.

Ryanair also didn't address the competition issue as highlighted in the reference to it by the Government shareholding. In my opinion this bid at its current price was nothing short of an attempted robbery without even the hint of a balaclava.

Ryanair along with all airlines will have enough to worry about it in the next few months, and as someone pointed out both above and in the media over the weekend, 47 of these worries in Ryanair's case are forthcoming, now that they will be delivered with a harp rather than a shamrock on their tail.
