While im not the biggest fan of the RYR recruitment tactics (and given a stop to new aircraft deliveries, something will have to change regarding the speed of newbie recruitment !), they are certainly safe as any other as prior posts have mentioned - as for the smaller airfields reducing safety due to lesser facilities/infrastructure, well you could argue any operator allowing one of their aircraft to dispatch with unservicabilities as allowed by the MEL is also reducing safety margins and that would mean all airlines are equally "reduce the safety". What i am saying is that assessments are made, risks mitigated, and operations allowed when deemed safe - If they had issues with low hour FO's and inexperienced Capts., then i think it would have become an issue many, many times over by now, they don't have because the training etc. is as good as any out there elsewhere, and maybe better ?.
