I also wonder (regardless of their accuracy) where Rynanair got these figures from?
Jeepers Gents (?Ladies) I really think you are making a mountain out of a molehill here,
It usually goes something like this:
Pilot fills out Air Safety Report (paper or electronic) , one copy goes to the Authority,
another goes to the Airline's own Flight Safety desk/Office, and if the pilot has any sense he keeps another copy. So MOL/FR are bound to know how many are filed without involving the IAA...
Whether you chose to believe his claim regarding the number of reports is another matter, but 4 a day sounds eminently credible to me. I really can't see any conspiracy at work here...but if it floats your boat
