Proper companies offer their staff a day off payment. Ryanair would rather pay EU261 claims than give their staff any more money.
This was always going to be bad for Ryanair but whoever thought they should try and fool or side step the paying passengers by putting the airlines punctuality before passengers needs and expectations, needs to be sacked, how on earth could an airline think by saying our punctuality is so important we have decided to cancel your flights just how was the paying passenger ment to take this they were never going to get sympathy but this has back fired more than any of us know.
Ryanair would have been better off spinning it with sorry we have grown so fast and our new aircraft are rolling off the production line faster than we can train staff and we apologise but we are a victim of our own success.
I'm sure it would have gone down better than on time performance
