Totally agree....The ROI really doesn't give a rats, not after the Celtic Tiger coughed up its terminal coil, and any tax income is better than none. Social obligations are another matter and maybe with success in this, the gates open towards tax. I would however be getting stressed if I was Ryan, knowing how the tax man gets his kicks. Get one "small un" and you have a good chance of getting the rest, all for minimum cost, especially balanced against the massive outlay required to pursue the corporate powerful entity. The whole Ryanair operation is ruthless in every aspect of it's business and as a pilot you have to accept that with the ambassadorial role that the postion bestows upon, you must also accept that compassion for any misfortune will be as limited as MOL's arbitration skills....
