Hmm 'right is clear' just shows his naievity of the perils of thunderstorms. Having been struck by lightning 3 times myself, when flying, lightening is not a major worry. The microbursts, downdrafts etc are what many accident reports are full of, and what the recent AIC regarding winshear also emphasises.
As for Ryanair bashing... yes it does get a little tedious to me too.
But dont Ryanair seem to provide the subject matter more than most?
