OPO Base

Looking at the based planes weekly schedule, does anybody have a clue which route will occupy the missing rotation on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday morning (E.T.D 11.00 a.m)?

PLANE 2
OPO-BVA 06.30-09.35 1-3-5-7
BVA-OPO 10.00-11.05 1-3-5-7
OPO-GRO 06.30-09.20 -2-4-6-
GRO-OPO 09.45-10.35 -2-4-6-
OPO-CRL 11.30-14.50 1-3-5-7
CRL-OPO 15.15-16.40 1-3-5-7
OPO-XXX -2-4-6-
XXX-OPO -2-4-6-
OPO-EIN 17.30-21.20 1-3-5-7
EIN-OPO 21.35-23.15 1-3-5-7
OPO-BSL 17.05-20.40 -2-4-6-
BSL-OPO 21.05-22.40 -2-4-6-

According to a source that i consider somehow trustful, the missing rotation is a new route to Lille.

Is anybody aware of this? If so, why didn't FR announced it past Thursday? Could it be because Lille will become a base too? 120 km away from CRL, which is also connected to OPO, would this be possible?

Good

Ryanair maybe waits for the launch of the new Lille Alicante on Tuesday to announce this new route ...

Do you think that Lille can become a new Ryanair base ? It would be a great thing !

Its probably a bit too close to Charleroi, I think its only about 2 hours away. However, I imagine that Ryanair will continue to operate routes from Lille so they can use the threat of moving to Lille as leverage for continued reduced landing fees at Charleroi.

Not anytime soon, Ryanair are in ongoing litigation regarding their practice of employing staff at their Marseilles base on Irish contracts, whereas French unions are demanding that they employ staff on more onerous French contracts (as for example Easyjet do). Until this is sorted it is unlikely that Ryanair will be opening any new French bases.

Ryanair beggars belief!

When I first saw 'charging for stools' I thought it meant something else!

How are they going to manage to get all the cows on board?
not to mention the buckets for the milk.
Silly idea IMHO.
Still, could be a novel form of in flight MOOvie I suppose.

And how much has MOL paid for front page coverage again? You can't fault his ability to generate free publicity every time he opnes his mouth.

Free Propaganda for the regime,once again goebbels is dead but not forgotten.

Thats all this is

You cannot partially stand for T/O or landing.This will not be approved

But the public will buy it and talk about it as if it could happen !!!!

Thats what FR want,ryanair on the brain so people will enter the website

It is fantastic free marketing

Probably just another scan story like "Pet Airways"

However, I'm one who will never fly on MOL's ship of fools for any reason.

Free marketing?

Due to O'Leary's attitude, perceived or otherwise, I would rather walk than take a Ryanair flight. The thought of lining the pocket of a selfish little waste of skin like him abhors me. Most of my acquaintances who have expressed a preference think the same.

I am not Ryanair "bashing" here. Get rid of O'leary, and pretend to be a company that cares about something other than his bank balance. Pretend to care about passenger and employee welfare. Even try really caring about these things!

I suspect that if he went, thousands (upon thousands) of people who currently wouldn't dream of booking a Ryanair flight, might.

At least he's honest about his shrewdness.

Most CEOs in any other company have just about the same agenda as MOL, only they cover and hide it with lies.

Try working for a "World Leader in Air Traffic Management" if you don't believe it !

Yes, but then a high number of people here will already get reduced/free flights. For those of us that pay, there is a different viewpoint. I've had several free flights on Ryanair, as in 1p per person including taxes, many to parts of Europe where the flights would have been quite expensive, e.g. Scandinavia.

Also, because of his trying to save every penny, Ryanair flights, board you at the last minute and have you off the airplane in no time. Yes I know why, but at 6'2" I appreciate boarding at the last minute, taking off immediately and getting out of the airplane straight away.

Funnily enough I would never have used Ryanair, untl my old company booked me on a flight, as it was the only airline that flew to the airport near our factory I was visiting in Italy.

He may not be the most pleasant person, but there are some things he's got right.

I have flown Ryanair many times and I have never had a bad experience. New planes (unlike BA), clean planes (unlike BA), on time (unlike BA), lowest fares (unlike BA), better food (if I want to pay) and pilots I trust. You want more?

Make passengers stand! Well, not completely, but close enough. "It's just like bar stools. The safety belt is the most important thing. It will still be fastened around the waist," Spring Airlines' Zhang Wuan told China's CCTV.
Cattle class at last. No food, no water and no doubt no toilets. (Oxygen?)

Chicken Class...

...and it's not as if it were invented by MOL himself.

According to the news report a chinese airline named "Spring" has this already implemented.

Unfortunately I cannot understand their website, but 13 A320's in Stool Class outfit would certainly be an interesting point to start...

Anyone ever flew with them Spring Airlines?
