Boffin, I know you are right and that they should sit us next to each according to CAA rules but I do not trust the Ryanair one little bit. I do mind paying, but I would rather that than a very upset DC. They really have you by the short and curlies.

BoffinMum · 27/02/2009 18:38

You have my sympathy, CrackFox.
They'll go bankrupt soon anyway, I am sure. The business model is silly and relies on Tourist Office subsidy and second homes, both of which will be less forthcoming in a depression.

How many more excuses do Ryanair have to give passengers not to fly with them?

Are they trying to put people off?

TheCrackFox · 27/02/2009 18:42

Boffinmum, hopefully they will go bankrupt after my holiday

Wow, I don't know how you kept your cool. It must have been like trying to reason with a 3 yr old in a toy shop.

BoffinMum · 27/02/2009 19:02

Liffey, it pushed me to the limit, I can tell you. I am bad enough in airport situations as it is, without people trying to get me arrested for spurious offences. But imagine the extent of my happy dance when I discovered I had won the court case! I also posted the small claims court link up all over the internet so others could also enjoy the sweet success I had experienced.

Here you are, people:

Small claims online

BoffinMum · 27/02/2009 19:04

CrackFox, BoffinAir will come to the rescue if you get stranded. I have had one flying lesson in a Cessna, but I can land a plane manually and safely with someone reminding me what to do and what dials to look at. I will provide fruit shoots refreshments on board and do toilet breaks. For free.

TheCrackFox · 27/02/2009 19:08

You are probably over qualified to work for Ryanair.

BoffinMum · 27/02/2009 19:29

Actually I am given to understand their pilots are the best organised of all airlines because they are so shit scared concerned about safety.

bytheLiffey · 27/02/2009 19:56

I'd love to make a special trip to Standstead just to hand out those forms!

bramblebooks · 27/02/2009 20:29

Please don't let them go bankrupt until after they fly us back from Pisa (how appropriate) in June.

chipmonkey · 27/02/2009 21:12

LOL, bramblehooks! Michael O'Leary is a fecker! He paid for taxi plates so he could use the bus lanes in Dublin!

Sidge · 27/02/2009 21:13

I'd be inclined to wee in the sick bag and leave it in the seat pocket.

But then they'd probably charge me for a sick bag.

I have never flown Ryanair and never will.

bytheLiffey · 27/02/2009 21:16

wow is that legal chip?? did he register his driver as a cabbie?

theyoungvisiter · 27/02/2009 21:16

do you think there is a fine for weeing on your seat?

I dare Boffinmum to find out.

Sidge, they did away with the sick bag!! You'd have to swallow your own sick!!

happywomble · 27/02/2009 21:22

Discovering that Ryanair are allowing mobiles and now charging for loos just makes me want to return to the good old days prior to low cost airlines when you paid a proper price for your ticket, had food and drink and felt as though safety was a priority.

I can't see how low cost airlines can charge so little for tickets and still be as safe as traditional airlines.

Sidge · 27/02/2009 21:22

Kerry/Liffey I'm not surprised!

Do they actually have pilots, I wonder? Maybe they have saved money by having some spotty oik with hours of Wii-flying-experience doing it all remotely?

They will probably ask the air hostesses to go around sniffing the seats after people have got off and then individuals will be fined (or arrested in my case) for piddling on their seats.

Actually, there is no way that would work because they don't have assigned seating.

HA!

bytheLiffey · 27/02/2009 21:26

I'm not one to defend M'OL, but I don't think the pilots are half-trained, or the safety checks insufficient. That guy is NOT stupid and he KNOWS that if ryanair has one accident with fatalities, that's it. People will fly with the alternative.

He gets you from A to B safely and that's it. But if it's not safely, then really that would be the end for ryanair.

In my humble opinion
