Why would the BBC pick on a company that is making profits during a recession?? A company like this offers employment for 1000's and offers the cheapest airfares around...
Yes they are cut throat, yes they add lots of fee's to the standard fare... but would you rather them not make money and go down the same route as BMI or Air Lingus??
People who slate Ryanair clearly haven't a clue about running a successful business..(or as stated previously.. jealous)
