Been wondering...do you folks flying at Ryanair see the slogans as "just a bit of fun", or are you as embarrassed as I would be when parking alongside your fellow professionals with this rubbish plastered down the side of your plane?
Anyway...the SkyEurope planes adorned with various undressing Slovakian Supermodels were far superior.

Remember "Bye Bye Latehansa"? Funny, as LH is now way ahead of FR punctuality wise.
FR folks always get upset when there is a bit of FR bashing on PPRUNE. Weird considering they work for a company that invented airline bashing.
Sometimes I think "the great unwashed" is running the company, not filling the aircraft seats.

I love all their slogans. Long may they continue - but they do need to improve, to stand out more, to be more eyebrow-raising, to be more offensive, to reduce customer confidence in other airlines more effectively, to be a better talking point.

Did Virgin start this slogan slagging a number of years back, when they put
'BA Humbug' on their 747's. I cannot remember which Scrooge-like act that Virgin were accusing BA of. Anybody with a better memory of it all?

Sky Europe.
I hope this is just Ryan air arrogance. I flew with SkyEurope in June. Flights on time, fairly confortable and reasonable value. Perhaps the slogan should be " Good buy, Sky Europe ". Long may they continue.

As for the Ryanair thing, when i saw it i just thought it was shockingly unprofessional...but wasnt sure if i was just being a sensitive puss and happens all the time or just didnt understand what it was for.
Shame.

just an amendment, when i said unprfessional, i was presuming it had something to do with skyeurope going out of business or something...if its a snipe at punctuality or something then thats not as bad obviously!

Evidently it's working: people herein are talking about it. And on a website whose members really ought by now to know MOL's tactics yet still continually fall for them.

This is not the right climate right now to be Headlining post with such statements that could be damaging to the Airline involved as I myself was shocked today to come into the Rumours & News forum to see a big GOOD BYE SKYEUROPE title...and I immediatly thought the worse until I came in and read exactly what the post was about....this Ryan AC has had this message on it since 2006..so this is very old news and I dont see why this needs to be made into a discussion again.

You're right of course...i SHOULS have known it has been on since 2006...that is really stupid of me, and its ridiculous of me not to take into consideration your view that it should not be discussed AGAIN. However, i would argue, one leads into other surely??

Yes, and good old Richard(whom I normally admire) said he chose the 340-600 over the 777 because of European jobs. Now he is paying the price of his version of protectionism.
