Correct me if I'm wrong but someone told me that Yankee Golf has been repaired and was seen doing circuits in EMA very recently?
I myself find this hard to believe as I thought thath the a/c had been written off by Boeing, anybody with any better knowledge?
As for the comment by MOL, I think he said this a while ago but just another example of how the guy thinks he's above it all and is untouchable. Dangerous personality trait from a guy at the head of the company, I can't wait till he's gone.

If all you are concerned about is how people spell, you are on the wrong forum my friend. Try and at least contribute something towards the thread if you are going to post at all!

Agreed. Mr O'Leary seems to think its something to be proud of and fair enough it has got people talking about Ryanair - free publicity and all that. However he will one day get into a real pickle and I for one cannot wait to see him have to wriggle out of something which he has said........

I guess a man as successful as Michael O'Leary is able to spell loser correctly.
That's more than can be said about you.

MOL's arrogance will someday get him into bother...

I would suggest that his airline surviving two 'hull losses' indicates a superb flight deck training regime and as such, why the hell shouldn't MOL gloat?
A culture of safety leads to success (it just needs the businees part of the plan to work as well).
In my day to day life, I come into contact with many commercial pilots. Training and safety is paramount in their minds. After all, if they fook up, they could be dead!

Maybe before the argument begins, can we establish that he actually did say this, and we compalin about hacks on pprune. Agreed Buster I don't like MOL full stop but the company's attitude to maintenance and flight ops is superb. Lastly, birds don't discriminate when it comes to putting turbine fires out.

Unfortunately it is a hull loss and last time I seen the "old" girl (only 3months old at the time) she was being dismantled. No logo's,no tail, no engines...... etc etc.

Walk on bags
My daughter tells me that, on a flight from Dublin last Monday, there was insufficient room in th cabin for all the 'walk on' bags. A number had to be taken from punters who had already boarded, and placed in the hold.
Presumably, as more people try to avoid paying for hold bags, this is likely to become a common ocurrence. Is this likely to have any impact on turn round times?

What I've read is that these increased frequencies are typical summer routes and last just for 1 month (August) 
Sounds weird to me and I think that would be new for FR to base a additional a/c for only 1 month.
NRN - AHO from 3/7 to 4/7
NRN - ALC from 7/7 to 9/7
NRN - AOI from 2/7 to 3/7
NRN - GRO from 7/7 to 9/7
NRN - REU from 3/7 to 4/7
NRN - BLQ from 4/7 to 5/7
NRN - WRO from 2/7 to 3/7
NRN - CAG from 3/7 to 4/7
NRN - BGY from 5/7 to 6/7
NRN - AGP from 4/7 to 5/7
NRN - PMI from 7/7 to 8/7
NRN - PSA from 3/7 to 5/7
NRN - SVQ from 3/7 to 4/7
NRN - TFS from 3/7 to 4/7
NRN - TPS from 3/7 to 4/7
NRN - VLC from 3/7 to 4/7
Summer hoidays in Germany (North Rhine-Westphalia): July 2nd - August 14th
Netherlands (region middle and south): July 11th - September 6th
Maybe after the summer new routes to come?

Italy
Tomorrow in Rome a press conference with Michael O'Leary and Stephen McNamara on the latest news concerning the Italian market.
I thought they've already expanded pretty much in Italy this year... yet more to come??

With FR grounding aircraft especially in the winter could they not do more ad hoc champions league flights like the Man U flight they did to Porto with the spare capacity they have? We have 6 teams in the champions league in the UK alone, and with the league stages taking place in late autumn to winter a fleet of FR jets could criss cross europe with supporters from every country in europe every other weds and thurs. In fact FR could become "the official airline of the champions league ". Could also help out with the UEFA cup as well. If they kept their prices reasonable I'm sure they would pack out every flight.

Many clubs have deals with airlines, Real Madrid being one in particular. These clubs have to pay for the flights themselves, not UEFA so it would be unfair for the clubs to be forced to pay a price decided between UEFA and Ryanair.
There are too many clubs to form a deal that would be sustainable. It just wouldn't work.

My idea was for the supporters not the players and officials. They don't have to strike a deal with anyone either, all thet have to do is arrange ad hoc flights corresponding to a particular match, use some of the capacity of the grounded aircraft and sell tickets at a reasonable price. Hey presto they can fill their planes with supporters. Not that difficult to fathom really.
