The Cork based Ryanair aircraft has much worse utilisation than any of the Cork based Aer Lingus aircraft, and spends a lot more time on the ground.
Thr FR aircraft in ORK is one of the most utilized in the fleet it operates 10 sectors a day thats 10 take offs and 10 landings in a single day, the winter schedule is back into place for the crew which mean the early crew do 6 sectors which consist of ORK-DUB, DUB-ORK, ORK-DUB, DUB-ORK and ORK-LGW, LGW-ORK with the first departure at 07.40 local and the late crew do 4 sectors ORK-DUB, DUB-ORK, ORK-DUB, DUB-ORK and there first departure is 17.05 the aircraft arrives in from LGW at 16.00 and the late crew are in the air by 17.05 so can you tell me how this is badly utilized if all the turnarounds are 25mins? The aircrafts longest stay on the ground is usually in the region of 1hr and 10mins for the crew change...

I think you should get your facts right before making anymore incorrect posts.
