This person who does the 'donky' work- is he a taxi driver or a caterer? In my experience- these people know what is happening to the company way before the crew know!

Still I think it highly unlikely that Ryanair in its present form will ever operate Dreamliners across the pond.

However, they once said man would never walk on the moon...

I wouldnt be shocked if this becomes true (long haul flights)

Just think MOL could be on a winner here!
credit crunch nobody will want to pay high airfares to the USA so ryanair comes along and offers the flights at cheap prices it could work.

The short haul flights will see cut backs over the next year or so and FR still have many on order so maybe they have changed it slighty and getting a few 787's instead.

Or is MOL reviving Guinness Peat? Said company was started by Ryan family before ryanair. MOL buys B738's at knockdown prices and now sells the early ones for little or no loss, perhaps even profit. Is he buying up B787's at knockdown prices to then lease them to a demanding market at exhorbitant prices, or sell his slots at profit? It's been done with exotic cars when there was a waiting list; it was done by Guninness Peat, so why not the prodical son? The man makes money and runs an airline like a chocolate factory. It's not an airline, it's a money factory. Aeroplanes are not the crux of it, but if they can make a profit then wacko.

Stop moaning!

You don't like Ryanair? You don't like it's prices/landings/cabin crew?

Get a grip. Ryaniar DOES get you SAFELY from A to B. You don't like it? DON'T BLOODY USE IT then! It makes no difference to their economics, there's always 10 other pax who'd try and buy your seat hence why the flights are in majority fully booked.

As for MOL being a money grabbing .... Tell me, exactly what would YOU do if you'd own your own airline??

What other airline around this globe has the money and time for a 787. I think Ryanair is the most obvious.

MOL gives 1p fares in this stricken aviation fuel world, so who says he wont release the 787's

How poor would you have to be to force Ryanair on the long haul family holiday.....? The thought isn't a pleasant one. Transatlantic travel in economy is already subsidised by the front end on the majors so often I don't pay the going rate anyway. How much cheaper would Ryanair make it? Scary thought.
