The company culture of not being absolutely free how much fuel to take, and having to defend yourself for doing,is at fault, not the crew who is brainwashed into O Leary Ryanair Borgs without a spine. Proof is the 2 previous posts, both by coincidence seem to live in Ireland...
I don't work for Ryanair if that's what you are implying. What I am implying is that you seem to have particular view of the Ryanair operation and you're making some pretty outlandish claims, can you tell us how you know this or are you just repeating the media? I happen to know a few Ryanair pilots and ex-pilots and non of them happen to be borgs or without a spine.
I think the real problem here is that there's too many borgs of the sensationalist media.
I'll say it again if you don't like Ryanairs business strategy fair enough bitch about that. But, on the hand if you want to look stupid and play Ryanairs strongest hand by all means attack them on their safety record.
