On the other hand the UK is leaving the EU soon. Lots of threats from MOL in the past with no action taken despite the bluster or is he just waiting to make a point? I seem to remember him saying he would pull aircraft out of the UK and move them to Europe if we dared to vote to leave yet the fleet cuts have come from Europe.

Why have Ryanair stopped the option of requesting a voucher when a flight is cancelled?
I had 2 e mails off them this morning to confirm my flights from CCF>MAN have been cancelled on 02/11 & 15/01/21 but the options on the e mail were only a flight change (not a viable option as flights don't re-start again until April 2021) or a refund. So I opted for a refund but would happily take a flight voucher as I fly with Ryanair to France, Germany & Spain various times per year.

The voucher gives me more flexibility to book up when I want, whilst also changing the origin and as in the past, I may even manage to get 2 return flights out of the total value of the voucher.
If you want a refund out of FR for a previously cancelled flight and an existing request has not been actioned, you should consider the chargeback route on your payment card. I have found that phoning FR and asking politely if you, the passenger, need to do a chargeback to secure the refund, somehow leads to the refund being actioned promptly

It is a gamble because if this lasts 5 years then few airlines will be in existence.
On the other hand Boeing will be quite happy as they will set off some of the $$$ they owe Ryanair against the purchase price and US Govt as always will be funding the export sale.
A 200 plane order is basically one of their plants just servicing that order for close to 2 years, it won't be like that in practice as over a longer term but Boeing happy to take that order to the bank.

Got my refund request confirmed and actioned within a week 
. Flight departure time changed by over 3 hours, but since my destination is a red zone now opted for the refund. Second time I cancelled the same trip now after March .

Possibly reported earlier, but this news is due to the Irish government's latest Covid crackdown:
