As they say around here, you've got the wrong end of the stick. 'Nothing to see here' was a humorous way of deflecting attention from my mistake.

Pprune is a great resource but the potential for misunderstanding when people post ambiguous or incomplete opinions is huge. That was just a joke but one has to read statements on Pprune carefully before rushing to conclusions.

Incidentally, I happen to agree with 100% of the criticisms of Ryanair's fuel and command upgrade policies. Nevertheless, what many pilots flying the line at Ryanair actually in practise to mitigate those ill-thought-out policies is another thing altogether.

I flew out of MAD with a young, say sub-30 yr old, Ryanair Captain 2 years ago. He took 1 ton of 'extra' fuel on an internal flight back to MAD because of the delays. And that was a day with CAVOK.
