Of course we all know that O'Leary makes these outlandish statements for free publicity (as if they needed it!) but this is a highly irresponsible statement to make - I pity his cabin crew having even more grief when it comes to getting certain passengers to buckle up for their own safety - you really have to ask the question, Irish or not, is this CEO "fit for purpose"?
Not only turbulence banished but "We don't have heavy landings anymore"
You mean like they did in Rome after a multiple bird strike on the approach?
In my opinion this has got nothing to do with the Irish sense of humour - flight safety is a serious business (ask anyone who has lost a loved one in an aircraft accident) and the CEO of an air transport undertaking should not be making such frivolous statements. Even if they are made in jest such a cavalier attitude ripples down from the top like a cancer.
I wonder iwhat he will be saying when they have their first major accident.
