Furia,
I wonder how you would feel if for instance a Polish Airline for instance, begins operations in Ireland or the UK, replacing one of your local airlines by collecting public money from the local goverment and lowering prices so your local airlines cannot compete while recording an unprecedent number of inccidents per year. Maybe then the "flag" factor would have relevance for some.
The British know all about it, Ryanair is an Irish airline and has done just that in Britain. Separate countries remember? So far the British haven't attempted to shut it down for spurious security and safety reasons.

As for the most recent Ryanair 'incidents'. I found this most interesting from AV Herald:

Beginning 19:52Z until 20:48Z a number of aircraft on approach to Madrid aborted their approaches and went around including all non-Spanish operators, except for eight flights of Spanish only operators which continued their flights for landings on Madrid's runways 18. The Aviation Herald is still monitoring these flights, that landed between 19:52Z and 20:10Z.
I've underlined the relevent comment. It appears there was divine interevention for the Spanish operators. Far be for me to suggest that Spanish airlines would continue into weather that a non Spanish operator might consider dangerous.

It's seems to me that when the Spanish get their house in order. They might be better placed to criticise the likes of Ryanair.
