Ryanair's safety culture is summed up in this quote:

"Michael O’Leary, the Ryanair chief executive, has responded to the incidents by issuing a memo to all pilots telling them that they will be demoted the first time they make a dangerous approach and sacked for a second offence."

O'Leary leading the way in embracing the new "blame culture".

I am not Ryanair basher. I think that the vast majority of the crews are competent and professional, but put under unfair pressure by their chief executive/management. The cause of this incident will be revealed in the fullness of time. For the present, as long as O'Leary or someone of his mindset is in charge of the airline, neither I nor my family will travel with them.
