The real problem here, that Ryanair refuses to acknowledge, is that if everyone rad a minimum fuel policy, when there were thunderstorms at the destination, Valencia could have been faced with 15 fuel maydays all at once. What then, eh?
This is the crux of the matter. Ryanair were/are gambling on the maturity and sense of other airlines, who have to charge for that maturity and sense. This is unfair practice, even in purely commercial terms.
Would hate to the tea lady in the board room today. MOL would have gone ape
I can't imagine MOL would entertain such a profligate luxury as a tea lady. It will be strictly Bring Your Own Teabag. And hot water. And cup. And fold-up seat. Breathing will be metered and at your own discretion.
