Honiley - your comments appear to be beyond the pale.

Ok,

My apologies for my comments - I was way out of order. :o

But I will say, people need to be very careful before they decide to slag someone off - you just never know who they are and this is a very small industry where everyone knows everyone else!

And calling someone "sad and loathsome" who you've applied for a job with is not a bright idea!

I'll say no-more.
Did I mention I admired MOL ?

Honiley:- True, it is not easy to make a success of an airline, particularly not now. But to do so by screwing everyone around you, ruling your company by fear, stuffing your own staff, job applicants, suppliers, etc. just to make MORE money remains, in my book, despicable.

I do not see much evidence that either Go or easyJet conduct their business on the same lines as O'Leary does. And they are also successful. Cassani and Stelios are far more worthy of admiration that that despicable little sh!t O'Leary.

Save your admiration for someone who has some moral values.

MOL? Seems to have complete contempt for anyone he perceives to be of a lower order.

Honiley? See above.

Didn't Hugh Heffner make a fortune out of screwing and stuffing his staff and all around him.
And yet the world all loves Hugh.

I didn't see the BBC2 program. What did he say to the crew as he was boarding?

My personal opinion of the man is that I feel he is taking advantage of the many pilots sadly finding themselves looking for work who, he has decided, will probably be good for £50 each to apply to his company.

Thumbs down

Most people won't like him, mainly because of how successful he is and what he's worth personally.
These are not the reasons people detest the man. It is frenzied bullying of anyone and everyone around him. As long as he keeps his company expanding the market are happy with his stock. They will endure anyone that makes them money.
His demise will happen when FR runs out of momentum. This explains his need post sept 11 to appear on every show and paper in Europe. The media and the market are still buying the spin ( and his shares ).In that regard he has done well so far.
However one false move and the house of cards could come crashing down. He will be fine of course but will his employees...?
Have you heard his views on redundancies?
