FPA: Flying Ryanair is unsafe

It's an official news in Finnish media right now. Flying Ryanair is unsafe. It sounds a bit unfair, said somewhat provocatively and generalising, but that's what Sami Simonen, the chairman of Finnish Pilots' Association, said to Finnish MTV3 television today. Why is it so? "For Ryanair, every employee is too expensive. When the pilot cannot afford to take a sick leave in spite of otitis or other disease, it's dangerous. It's an unsafe airline", Simonen says.

In Simonen's view many other low cost carriers tend to be unsafe as well, precisely for the same reasons. Due to this, FPA monitors several lcc's, also Norwegian is one of them.

PS. And indeed, in the years to come, Norwegian will be even more "dangerous" to domestic airline(s) in this country than Ryanair, fading out somehow.
