O'Leary also confirmed earlier statements to Bloomberg Businessweek that he is seeking permission from aviation authorities to use only one pilot on the shortest flights. “It would save the entire industry a fortune. In 25 years with [more than] about 10 million flights, we've had one pilot who suffered a heart attack in flight and he landed the plane,” he reasoned. “Really, you only need one pilot. Let's take out the second pilot. Let the bloody computer fly it.”

Ryanair website is a bit messed up today, you can only book flights in 2010!
And if you select any date in 2010 it then tells you that today is that date and you need to contact the airline to book on today's flight.
A bit slack by their standards.

Actually one can book by selecting "Book Cheap Flights" above - there you'll find an updated calendar. But as certainly not everyone will decide to try other options than this obvious one directly on the front page it means mostly... a loss of money(!!!) for the carrier. Pretty large sums, presumably, especially if it takes a couple of days to fix it - who would bother now. How many flight tickets could have been sold by then?
Well, it's only about money, a trivial thing
. Unimportant really?

Perhaps if the Ryanair bashers didnt hang so much on every word MOL
spouts (in either business or journo press)they would have a better new year?
It must be the Irish in me that makes me chuckle whenever MOL
is quoted on here......I can see him reeling in the little fishes every time......
ASFKAP......hello!

2010 - 72million travel with Ryanair.
News : Ryanair Celebrates Record Year in 2010
News : Ryanair Celebrates Record Year in 2010
It is also worth noting that they have carried nothing like 72m pax. They have many no-shows and counted over a million who did not fly on planned sector due to ash.
befree - it's all down to the issue of whether tickets sold are refundable or not and thus when the ticket is recognisable as revenue under accounting policies, and as to what data shareholders would really care about (number of people on each flight will be reported separately to the various aviation authorities under a different metric).
Remember that Ryanair would like it if customers who bought tickets did not fly - it means they keep both the base fare, and also because their policies make it extremely diffiicult to claim back the Govt tax, they in practice usually end up keeping the tax as well. A large network carrier like Air France is in a different position - it sells many refundable tickets to large companies - if one of their staff misses the flight, the company can easily just claim the refund including the tax.
There has been much debate on this forum over the last year or two as to how one compares "number of non refundable tickets sold" as given by Ryanair to "number of people / RPK flown" as provided by most network carriers, and thus how one can compare the performance of Ryanair to (for example) Lufthansa.

december growth is just out - just 2% more tickets sold than last year,
On top of that many seats will not have been flown.
Load factor for december was down to 80%.
Still waiting to see when they will admit to a month of negative growth!

Any idea from which base the new EIN - IBZ and PMI flights are being operated from? Is it a new route daily from somewhere or the sign of a possible base in EIN?
If it's to be a W pattern it must be coming from RYG, EDI or PIK?
