Did you hear what MOL said to the crew in a high vis. jacket. As he was boarding the B737?

..he has the sales tactics of a double glazing salesman and the work ethic of a wheelclamper!
Who is that man anyway, I've never seen him before in my life?

Ambivalent I guess. What a shame that someone with such undoubted abilities and ideas should be so lacking in simple kindness when dealing with other, less fortunate, people.
He has clearly never heard of the phrase "Be nice to people on the way up as you will surely meet them on the way down.

Two thumbs up. At a time where there's little good news in the aviation industry, most of it is coming from him and Stavros the Bubble.
Don't think I'd want to play poker with the man though ... :D :D :D
Nor did I know (until today) that he's from Tipperary. That explains a lot!! :eek: :D :eek:
Despise everything he stands for. Never met the man, so cannot speak at a personal level.
My guess is that he'd make an excellent used car salesman but would struggle with selling anything new.
His days are numbered. :D :D :D
Love him, its people like him that are getting this industry back on its feet quicker.

Guvnor, actually I think he is from Co. Westmeath at least he lives there at a place called Gigginstown House. It's one of those country manor, tax free jobs where you have to have it open to the general public on a certain number of days each year in order to qualify for the tax exemption.The opening hours are a bit of a mystery I think unless someone knows differently !
Loathe all that he stands for. Refuse to fly his airline. The man has no soul. Definately a dodgy third hand car sales man :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

He may be a tyrant, but Ryanair's results speak for themselves...
I'm sure most Ryanair employees fear/hate him, but his investors love him...
Having a secure job flying nifty 737-800s around Europe for a growing and profitable airline might not be too bad if you can tune out the jacka$$ boss... He ain't no Herb Kelleher - that's for DAMN sure!
