It would appear that Ryanair are increasingly focusing on profitability than growth, the number of Ryanair aircraft parked up for a large part of the day (June is a slow month) at airport around Europe is the most i have ever seen.
I have no doubt that they will be flying their socks of in July/Aug/September but with more and more paid by the block hour pilots it must be of concern about income levels in the shoulder and winter periods.
I spoke with one pilot who had lost 7 sectors to training requirement in one month at a cost of over £1500.00 with no compensation (what did he expect?)
I think that they will be very profitable this year maybe as much $1.5bn so it shows you can make money in aviation if you think outside the box
