pamann, you are right but I do get pi$$ed off by starting at £20 and finding that I have to pay £5 for on-line check-in (is there a free option?) and by being charged anything for paying by a debit card when doing so costs the company nothing. I don't mind having the option of having to pay extra for hold baggage or even for airport check-in as those are all extra costs to the airline.
I also object to their staff being shafted by a company that seeks to take advantage of individuals.
The fact is that playing games is dishonest and reflects badly on the company. That's why the general public have such a low opinion of both Ryanair and MOL.

Airlines like Easyjet, Aer Lingus, BA etc etc have No industrial relations issues either now or in the past year ......................who knew.

It has never been a great shock that a number of airlines use their upgrade facility to look after National media Editors and Journos on long haul flights to ensure negative news stories never see the light of day. Again it was never a shock that BAA ensured MPs had priveleged parking facilities at their airports. This all comes out of the PR budget to shut people up.
The faux indignation that Ryanair can advertise a FROM fare and its not what someone pays is no different from any other airline. But with FR its chic to hate them, one only has to look at aircraft incidents reported and the anti FR brigade are out in force where as with anybody else its just ignored.

Gereral public view of Ryanair
Sky9 says the generel public have a poor view of Ryanair. Where is his evidence? - I have evidence that says 70m members of the general public think otherwise

You don't have any such evidence. The 70 million figure is probably closer to 60 million taking into account no-shows and Ryanair double counting during the volcanic ash crisis. The 60 million journeys will perhaps represent less than 10 million different people. Out of those a substantial number will have criticisms of Ryanair or be flying a route where there is no competition. If Ryanair had good customer service it would not repeatedly be at or near the bottom in customer satisfaction surveys.

The public's perception of Ryanair will be extremely subjective and personal. What is a priority for one, may not be the same for another.
But a point to those who always quote the 70m odd seats sold. How many use FR as their first choice, or as their only choice, or as the cheapest option, so use them reluctantly? I have used FR many times, and I'm sure will again, but after checking all the competition and deciding is the difference in fare big enough to decide to book FR.
How many people shop in Lidl, but would rather be buying from M&S; shopping in Primark, but secretly wishing it was Selfridges or Abercrombie?? Just because people use a service or store, doesn't necessarily mean they are happy with it, if it's their only realistic option.
People may not have had such a nightmarish experience to avoid FR in the future, but that doesn't then mean they would actually rate it.

I'm sure that clareview has 70 million customer survey reports that were completed that all 70 million customers were 100% satisfied with the product they purchased, despite being boarded as if they were cattle, being seated in seats that do not recline and being scammed for warm beer and stale sandwiches etc.
I'm sure clareview has evidence to contradict this!

I recently flew BA for the first time in years and I found the pre-allocated seat boarding a nightmare, it took ages to get us all on board.
Alyhough I am not a big fan of the rugby scrum either it gets everybody on board and seated in half the time.

MOLGenius,
Why does travelling by air need to be a race? It cracks me up, when arriving on to stand, often a remote stand, all these pax rushing to the overhead lockers whilst the seat belt sign is still on, often we all have to wait for the same coach to the terminal and/or our hold baggage to be offloaded etc!
Why does everything have to be a race, I, for one, don't intend my life to be running around like a headless chicken and/or being boarded as if I were cattle!

The 70 million figure
- to fill its planes better
- to be able to provide better schedules (at least daily flights on some routes)
- to get better deals
- to be able to sustain the growth at considerable speed

Phileas. If this Ryanair scrum really does exist surely someone would have posted a decent one on YouTube. None that I can see in YouTube's 5 year existence?
Pee, one can't be in business and not change business direction. If you invent something you keep on inventing. Others will always be playing catch up.

If what you call a 'scrum' is the lengthy queueing at the gate and subsequent rush to the aircraft, yes it does exist. I have seen it for myself but to be fair to Ryanair, it is no better or worse than easyjet and you know what to expect when you book the flights. It may not bother many people but it's not for me.

Im all for free speach but for posting pictures of crew and managers is just wrong, what gives them the right to post pictures of them. And as for telling people how to hack cabin crews personal information, ie rosters and pvt information, its just wrong and the link should be removed from here.

New route announcements on Wednesday
These Bulgarian guys are really great. Look at this article from Visit Bulgaria.
Did not want to tell, huh? Actually he has told everything. I'm not a football connoisseur, but just a small research revealed much enough.
Well right, it could be either BCN or GRO, but what else could still be a secret here?
On December 22 Plovdiv Airport will announce its second regular line from the Bulgarian city of Plovdiv to a city in Spain, general manager of the airport Doichin Angelov announced. Bulgarian footballer Hristo Stoichkov will participate in the press conference announcing the new line.
The new flight line will be launched in the end of March 2011. The airport manager did not want to tell any details about the new line.

Hristo Stoichkov (Bulgarian: Христо Стоичков) moved on to Barcelona, winning the Primera Division four years in a row between 1991 and 1994 and the European Cup after defeating Sampdoria in 1992. During his stay in Barcelona, he had become an idol for the club's fans, and was Barça's most popular player at the time.
