What would we do for entertainment without Ryanair?

Just got this interesting link to the latest Ryanair stunt. It looks like the big boss of Ryanair does not like IALPA! http://www.ialpa.net/

Every person who criticises PPRuNe for "censorship", when Ryanair forces criticism of itself to be removed from this site, ought to be reminded of this!

What a waste of time..... but I suppose they are after a law suit that they have a chance of winning. They seem to have bu**ered every other one they've been involved in recently.

Do the have the omnibus test of reasonableness in Eire?

If so I doubt any reasonable person would confuse IALPA with an airline or telecommunications company so a passing off case should fail.

So if i wizz off to STN in the morning, take a picture of a Ryanair landing and give it to IALPA for inclusion onto their site, are they still going to be shouting ?

Got to love their latest anti easyJet 'bye bye Fleecy Jet' livery on one of the LPL based 738s.

Real classy.

What happened to the "Ryanair lose another court case" thread? It originally started in Rumours and News, then got moved to "Airlines, Airports & Routes", and now that I've come back from a night out at a birthday celebration, I discover that an email notification of an update to that thread leads nowhere - except to a message saying that the thread address is no longer valid!

Confused... I hope I didn't do owt wrong (but I guess I'll find out if I did).

Someone mentioned censorship, earlier in this thread. What's going on?

Please... I'm new here... fill me in. If there are unutterable truths of which one cannot speak, please elucidate, cos I speak as I find (as long as its the truth), and I am therefore bound to get into trouble thereby, presumably.

Yes.... there are unutterable truths about Ryanair about which one cannot speak. Unfortunately nobody can tell you what they are (well, here that is).

But, when this thread is removed to an obscure corner of the site (sorry to regular readers of "Airlines, Airports & Routes") and then removed ... you will know that some of those truths have been uttered!

In the past week or so, Ryan appear to be on some sort of crusade which on the face of it only has one goal to P*** everybody off. Including the workers and competition. I will jump ship as soon as the next offer arrives.

If Ryanair object to a picture of one of their aircraft with their trademark painted on it, surely they can't object to a picture of a 737 in one of special advertisement schemes. Or could they?

Go on IALPA, it's worth a punt! (pun intended!)

There's only one special scheme 737-800 as far as I know (Boeing Dreamliner scheme), and it does have Ryanair titles and logo on the fin.

Amazing what Energy is used to p*** everyone off. I asked myself often what happened in the past that MOL and his fellows are on that track. I meet a lot of Irish blokes who where reasonable, friendly, funny and lovely people. The show must go on that people talk. MOL and his followers will contribute in the future for shure. I am confident that community will be amazed what comes next. The show must go on.......

Where can I contribute to the IALPA? I still have bonds to the green Island....

Fly safe and land happy

You guys just don't get it.
ALL publicity is good publicity so long as they spell your name right.
An old hollywood adage.

They could use a pic of EI-CSC, assuming it is still in Cable & Wireless colours. A small black line blanking the little Ryanair titles should suffice!
