Don't beat up Ryanair, beat up the authorities
I don't work for Ryanair, and I don't like their management.
But, they are not the only airline working exactly to the rules of the authorities.Do they think it is unsafe, if so they and they alone can solve the problem. CHANGE THE RULES!
But they won't, Europe is so busy with the "Green world" they forget what their brief is, or should be SAFETY.
We now have new Euro FTL's which don't take into account the crews, only take account of economy.
So until the Authorities wake up, we may have accidents because of no fuel or accidents because the crew did a 17 hour duty with rest on the aircraft in the galley on a cabin jump seat, with constant noise unable to sleep.
airline will always push the regulations to the edge, so let the Authorities understand that and build a buffer into the regulations.
