Icelanta,
true or not, completely off topic, and the subject has been bloodmilked in countless threads here on pprune.
Regarding the incident, itīs old news. I find it unfair to bring up something that happened what, 2 years ago, and say that Ryanair are always trying to cover up every incident they have, like any airline would advertise that they had a mishap. My point is basically, that people here on pprune are not very consistent when it comes to throwing stones. Ryanair hate-ing makes people pick anything they can just to get a shot at Ryanair.
Iīve said this before, Iīm no fan of RYR management, I think theyīre fkrs and bullies and play a big part in making t&cīs for pilots in they state that they are now. Having said that, I think flying wise, they are as good as it gets, and I believe statistically has no worse incident record than other airlines - quite possibly better. Maintainance has so far been one of the best in the airline industry, sopīs are a great safety net (although some trainers are comepletely fixed on them, at the expense of airmanship), and the pilots are generally in good form due to amount of sectors, demanding airports etc.
Oh yes, the incident... I think the captain actually thought that nothing happened, the collision might have been taken as a bump in the taxiway.
The reaction; absolutely ridiculous! If thereīs any doubt, thereīs no doubt. If you have to ask the other a/c to move forward, and then having cabin crew saying that pax thought there was a collision...
