The documentary was just that, a documentary. Probably not aimed at the people who frequent forums like this.
I thought it just presented facts. MOL was made to look silly as his argument about unedited interviews was shot down.
As was said by someone else, It would have been better to do a documentary about the way LOCO airlines, not just FR, but mainly FR, have driven down wages and conditions throughout the industry.
Handling agents, Airports, and all associated business' are constantly being pushed toward the bottom line and CS goes out of the window.
Hat off to the CEO at MAN who insisted that they were not prepared to 'Prostitute' themselves to FR. Also Airbus, for insisting that they would not sell to O'Leary planes at any cost.
It's depressing that the public have been conditioned to accept the bottom of the barrel as the norm.
There is no doubt that FR have made a success of the business model. Nothing in that means I have to like them or fly with them. I don't, I won't.
The only other observation I would make is that the Daily Mail readers moaning about their license fee should really get a grip. However, that's another discussion altogether.
