First of all, Ryanair as a rule has not given share holders much of a return, just saving the money in the bank (for the next big aircraft order
), where as easyJet has given regular dividends. Hence why the share price hasn't grown at the same right. But im glad to of jump ship, the grass is much greener.
Hmmmm Nope

Shareprice has little to do with dividends as if that were the case then Face-book, Microsoft, Apple, Google would not be worth more than the companies than pay dividends.
