This is pretty astonishing and needs to be looked into a lot more in depth but not on here!
RyanAir have taken the IAAs statement of support and practically turned it into an advertizing jingle, rattling it out at press conferences and the media at every opportunity.
If, as some people are suggesting (not me your honour) theres some sort of an 'Old Boys Network' at play here then just how credible is that statement?
RyanAir have no problem embarking on legal battles they can't possibly win and then boasting about the free publicity it generated afterwards, but now theyre hauling the reputation of IAA into it and if anything were to come out in court to discredit RyanAir in any way then by implication the reputation of the IAA would also suffer.
Aside from claiming some people in IAA may have aviation experience with an airline.............WOW who would have thunk it.........maybe we should be asking do Aviation Regulation Bodies have people working from them who have no aviation experience.
@Racedo, We're not talking about ordinary people "that may have aviation experience with an airline" we're talking about former RyanAir managers and in this particular context theres a whole heap of difference.
Im not casting any aspersions on any of the individuals which may be referred to in this case but from my experience many (though not all) RyanAir managers would be viewed as 'toxic' in any organization other than RyanAir.
