This is all very disappointing. I was expecting a much more tolerant attitude by the employees of a big multi-cultural company such as Ryanair.
I can only read adversion towards Italy and Italians. Fine.
No suprprise there: Italians and Britons do not like each other, they never did and never will. Having said that, is there any fact to help us understand how it happened?
If you're happy with the explanation "because it's Italy" will you kindly move on to the next thread?
And can anybody answer this: I have always had the impression that Ryanair is rather slow to adapt to changing scenarios. An example: it's been a few months since the introduction of new CDRs within Amsterdam UIR, almost everybody is using them when possible (Scandinavian, British Airways, Easyjet to name a few) but Ryanair. How happens? Can this be related to this incident? Is there sufficient staff to track all this changes (routes, NOTAMs...) and brief the crews? (I might as well have said "are they all reading the Sun instead of NOTAMs?" but I didn't ... or did I?)
