No doubt he's rubbing his grubby little hands together over the demise of Malev as well.....

Those who fly Ryanair are probably the same sort of people who buy pirated DVDs from car boot sales, or imitation fashion clothing made in soute east Asian sweat shops.

Anyway, commiserations to Spanair staff and customers - I hope a reputable Spanish airline will rise from the ashes.

I have never knowingly bought a pirated CD or DVD from anyone - and believe me, the streets and shops of Spain are full of them. I don't buy fashion clothing from anywhere. The last item of clothing I bought was a pair of trousers from M and S. As far as I am aware, Ryanair is neither a pirate airline or an imitation airline made in Asia. If you must make stupid, crass and pointless remarks, as I said before, save them for the Ryanair thread - you'll be in good company there.

Ignorant stereotyping there. You find all sorts of passengers on Ryanair, from low-budget tourists to the Queen of Spain.

Spanair were hardly Singapore Airlines either. My experiences of them were not particularly impressive; horribly cramped seating on a tired aircraft, indifferent staff and a overpriced Buy-On-Board service consisting of a tasteless sandwich. That's only my experience, it was nothing to complain about but I didn't think they were better value than Ryanair considering the fare paid.

Obviously, it's deeply regrettable that people have lost jobs but many people didn't have a terribly high opinion of the airline's economy class service as it didn't meet other Star Alliance partners in Europe in terms of catering and onboard comfort.

Apologies - this is slightly off-thread, but I recall that Iberia had already floated a low-cost airline. It was called Clickair and we used it a couple of times. Although Iberia only had a 20 percent holding, it did have 80 percent of its economic rights. Clickair merged with Vueling, then lost its identity. If Iberia couldn't make a low-cost airline work then, why do they think it will work now? I'm with the Iberia pilots on this one.

It wont last. They'll become desperate and wishing to avoid Iberia troubles. Some will have to go to FR if they want to stay in Spain and in the industry.
