Speaking of 'just desserts', pity you're not an XL pilot!

So Vienna is not too worried.

"error call airline"

Commenting on the collapse of yet another bankrupt airline, Michael Cawley, Ryanair's Deputy Chief Executive, said:
"This is proof positive that passengers should not book their holidays with flaky, financially stretched airlines such as XL. Passengers should only book reservations with financially strong airlines such as Ryanair whom they know will be here for the long term. We are pleased to be able to rescue these passengers and facilitate the CAA in their efforts to repatriate them. We strongly advise passengers to be more discerning when they book their holidays and look first at the financial position of the airline with which they book".
What nice way to make a fool out of himself. The corpse is not even cold yet and you start your usual ryan air bla bla bolx

You can bet your bottom dollar that if Ryanair were ever in the same situation, O'Leary would still be trying to sell tickets to the administrators as they were winding the company up.
That statement sums up just everything that is wrong with Ryanair, and the majority of their passengers.

Get a life, the only thing wrong with Ryanair is its website.
My Mum and Dad and six friends are off to Majorca at the end of this month, four of the group booked with XL, as they hate Ryanair, my Mum and Dad and the others booked with Ryanair at more than half the price.
The group that booked with XL are now trying to book with Ryanair
but cant book on the website.
Guess they cant hate Ryanair that much can they.
And once again THANK YOU Ryanair for offering a B737-800 for two weeks
to help get stranded passengers home.
JUST HOW WRONG IS THAT

SkyEurope "impounded" at MAN
Hi
With regard to 2 SkyEurope planes being "impounded" at Manchester yesterday. The facts as I know them are;
i) it was mainly MAN airport getting jittery about landing fees after the collapse that day of XL.
ii) SkyEurope were using credit but perhaps no worse than some others.
iii) There was no-one else involved, ie EuroControl etc.
iii) SkyEurope flew there AND BACK today.
iv) all other flights on SkyEurope network operated normally yesterday and today
There is no doubt that SkyEurope are not "rolling in it" but not many airlines are at the moment. There could be trouble on the horizon - there may not. Fortunately for them the Easter European economies (specifically Slovakia) are slowing but not at the rate of, for example, the UK. They are also not likely to hit recession. This leaves open the possiblitly of getting some investment which I am sure they need for the winter.
SkyEurope is a decent airline, nice planes and fairly good fares. It would be a shame to see them go. I would certainly pay a little more and fly with them as opposed to some others. I may be bias but I think it's a fair assesment.
It's not pleasant to hear of plane imoundings, bankruptcies etc. Think of the staff, families, ancillary workers. No-one wants to see this I am sure.
