Z to H,
As you are starting to find out, tongue in cheek, irony, or anything that requires the reader to read between the lines is somewhat wasted on here.
It is only possible to be in one of two camps. Either you must adopt blinkers and praise Ryanair to the rooftops, or you have to (preferably work for Aer Lingus) & remind everyone that they are a bunch of Pikey's/ scum of the earth etc at every opportunity. You will find any common sense posting will be drowned in a chorus of Ryanair-berating hysteria.
You are there, you know how it is, what is good & bad, and how it could be a lot better, and indeed a lot worse. Trying to educate the great unwashed on here is a poor use of your time. Look at my number of postings and you will see I speak from experience.
Wait till CaptKremin or one of his many psuedonyms comes along, you will then find that rather than being a normal bloke telling it as it is, you are transformed into a self serving apologist for the evil empire. Most of these opinions are invariably offered from a "safe seat" on the exterior of our glorious empire. Easy indeed to offer advice from the rafters, as you well know not so easy to act on it from within,particularly when everyone is not singing from the same hymn-sheet.
As you said, look after No1, no one else will until some leadership is found among the ranks and some organised response is offered to managements unchallenged "proposals". With the possible exception of The Grim Repa aka Didimus that ain't gonna come from anyone on here.
Welcome to the shark pool, come on in the waters lovely
