Ryanair-10

[Harry Wayfarers]

Kind of a shame, for O'Leary that is, that Air Berlin are Airbus and not Boeing.

Ryanair threatened with legal action by UK regulator - BBC News

Meanwhile the IAA poodle in Dublin still couldn't care less.

CAA running to media and then claiming "Oh it won't go to court" so why again are the screaming it will ?
For optics only.

So were they shouting about court and BA ?

Ryanair do not pay dividends.

They may make distribution of funds but not called nor classified as a dividend as not paid or guaranteed any time.

Most of the UK voted for BREXIT. Now which waves do Britania hope to rule in Europe? They want an a la carte separation, they desire EU laws for compensation, open skies etc etc. Mvembership has its benefits which won't apply in the not too distant future.

Theresa May and others are slow to negotiate and the divorce bill is mounting. In business if blocked you can't wait forever as on onlooker you just move on.

I think you'll find that most of the UK DID not vote for Brexit. 52% voted for it which is a small majority.

BA dealt with the problems as per the rules.

So there there was no need for court action.

[Mr A Tis]

Most of the UK voted for BREXIT

Roughly 17.5M of the UK population voted for Brexit. 47M did not.
I don't think Bexit has any bearing on the current RYR issues.

[Sober Lark]

I think you'll find the total electorate is only 46501241 and you had a 72.2% turn out. You voted to leave by the narrowest of margins 51.9% and the ACI states the UK is risking 270,000 jobs and €15.4 billion a year if it damages its aviation relationship with the EU. In passing, the EU has told UK not to use Northern Ireland as a bargaining chip in Brexit divorce talks. I feel sympathy for those who voted not to leave, its an unpleasant situation but to many who have their heads in the clouds thinking Brexit isn't an influence then I rest my case. Grounding flights gives Ryanair great opportunities to restructure.

I see that no Ryanair flights in and out of Malta are on the lists of cancellations. Obviously they're axing their least profitable routes.

Cf: "employees" who work for them but are not legally employed and so aren't employees after all. Despite wearing the uniform and flying the plane?

Wonderful place to work (though not as an employee) or receive distributions of funds (though not dividends) this EU, in'nit?

So CAA are going after RYR for not offering alternative flights with other airlines. Hope this is being applied even-handedly and they are seeking similar assurances from other airlines - easyJet were adamant they wouldn't when my flight was cancelled last year.

[DublinPole]

BA were awkward with me in the past as well and a colleague told me once he tried to complain about it to the regulator (I assume the CAA) and didn't get very far since it wasn't apparently required.

Absolute nonsense but hey that's what we expect these days.

Back on topic I do think they will lose some pax long term after this fiasco,not all but some.

Purely for tax advantage.

The Ryanair chairman for the last 20 years, who never makes public pronouncements, is US billionaire citizen David Bonderman, who heads investment group TPG (the old Texas Pacific Group). Once upon a time, when there was a Continental Airlines, he was a board member of that. TPG are also major investors in Uber, where Bonderman had to resign his board position a few months ago following inappropriate behaviour. Everyone can be assured that TPG do not make any investments, including backing Ryanair's huge aircraft purchases, without a very satisfactory rate of return on their investment. Whether this is represented as dividends from profits, charges, or some other form, is entirely down to layers of tax accountants.

I need my driveway paving............is that on their website?

[DublinPole]

So the CAA want Ryanair to email all the customers again who they cancelled and say that they will pay for their alternative arrangements for trips with other airlines and even train fares if that is what they took as well as cover the expenses for routing to their original destination if they were offered alternatives to other airports.

Looks like this could be a time for those who have been denied these things with other airlines in the last few years to get their claims in quickly to these airlines and demand exactly the same that the CAA are forcing Ryanair into now and if the airlines don't reply send a letter to the CAA requiring them to take enforcement action.

Since the CAA are claiming these are the rules now, the other airlines do not have a leg to stand on and the CAA will have no excuse for not enforcing them to act like they are with Ryanair.

I have claimed my refund! Can I still get Ryanair to book my two return flights with Easyjet?

Does any member have the appropriate legislation to hand so that I can provide proof when I liaise with Ryanair?

Can you tell me of a single company where employees receive dividends because they are employees ?
There isn't one.
