Ryanair

""During the booking process, Ryanair passengers won’t be informed that their flights will be on Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. The carrier’s chief executive confirmed this news yesterday."" What an arrogant s...t !!!! Think they have the right to know. |
Why is this in Terms & Endearment?
|
And you would like it where Shamrock. Regarding your comment Joe not all Ryanair pax are off to stag parties. The public have a right t know which aircraft type they are flying don`t you think?
|
For once I actually understand Ryanair. 1: they run a Business, if the FAA and EASA and all the others aprove the aircraft, it is deemed safe. 2: there is no way to assign a particular aircraft to a flight a few months in advance. What happens with AOGs, diversions etc etc. Im sure other airlines will do the same, of realize that last minute changes forces them to use a MAX instead of a NG |
To be fair, how to guarantee on a mixed 737 fleet which type will be allocated on the day of operations. Fair enough I say |
Possibly yes but its the attitude.

If you actually bothered to read the full quote you're putting your own interpretation on it.
“The reality is [if people want to know whether or not they are due to fly in a Max jet], the answer is that you won’t,” O’Leary told FlightGlobal in Brussels. “Because we won’t know. We do our aircraft allocations on a nightly basis. You’re booking your ticket six, eight weeks in advance.” |
Lets face it if the boys and girls who are going to fly this thing don't get on it no passengers are going anywhere regardless of when you booked your ticket.
No pilots no fly. Reality being however by the time they get this thing back in the air if will probably be the safest thing in the sky............. |

Ryanair are not interested if their pax know what the aircraft is, their sole interest is their wallets and how they can get their hands on the contents. O'Leary isn't going to change now, why should he, he makes loads of money out of his business. |

What an arrogant s...t !!!! Think they have the right to know. When re certified, it should be safer, or at least as safe, as the 737NG. Boeing and the FAA can't afford for it not to be. You, and some parts of the media are trying to create a fatuous argument. Nothing to see here ... move on. |
Don't any airlines T&C when booking advise that no particular make or type of aircraft is guaranteed .... I'm sure it's in there somewhere. It's the company that decide the plane ... route, distance, load factors of SLF and real freight, availability and staffing to name a few conditions.
If you want to be sure of the type of plane you're going to fly in, pay up for a business jet. (Even the old BEA printed timetables of the 1960s/1970s used to state EQV = Equipment Varies!!) |
Sharklets is right however when you buy something you have the right to know what you are buying and whether we like it or not consumer confidence rightly or wrongly has dropped in this aircraft. As I stated it is the attitude that is wrong here.....

question about type
I paxed back from a sim in Joburg on company 319 when a 87 year old lady asked the cabin crew if this was 737 max ??/

Again ... this is a non event. If you allow RYR's style and culture to wind you up whenever they do something you don't agree with .. you will not be a happy person. |

If you are still unhappy about this then pay more and fly on another airline that has no 737s in its fleet. |
The age could have been overheard in a different conversation, unless that was the only thing the lady in question said all flight. |

B******t...
But they will know well in advance which airframe it is as they will either have sold 189 seats (738) or 200 seats (Max) on the flight....
