It was a generic warning to
all operators that excess speed
can have consequences when it all goes wrong. Or did the FAA and some clever journo with Photoshop just make the whole thing up ???
The big big clue was the phrase ''any airline''. The fact you read it to mean specifically (i) Ryanair and specifically (ii) the incident raised by the poster, is your problem, not mine. I have flown them many a time and work them every day at work. I don't have a safety concern with them. Therefore I have not cast an aspersion on them, but merely ask everyone in the industry to learn the lessons of SWA.
Complacency (i.e look at our safety record, we're the greatest) and smugness (i.e. we're different so we must be the best) are dangerous attitudes for any airline to have when it comes to air safety. Fortunately it's not a culture I've met in airline Flight Safety officers, just the occasional wet behind the ears junior FOs.
Also, there was no reference in my post to dropping the gear late causing the SWA accident, least not that I could see.
So put your toys back in the pram.
Now, shuffle off to the bar, it's your round
