Was this promulgated by the management to the Ryanair pilots or did they have to find out about it in the same way they discovered that one of their 738s had stalled over the Pyrenees - from the NTSB?

Remember they almost lost an ATR way back in the late 80s that stalled in icing somewhere near Bristol?
