Please note this thread contains posts from the Air Canada forum that have been relocated to the Budget European Airlines forum as a more appropriate location for the discussion.

"Stand-up show" a la J-class = no seats, only standing people at a bar desk at the back of the bus buying Ryanair cocktails for a very low price

I'm surprised they would'nt secure some 767's like Ukraine Intl Airlines have - squashed like sardines... and both of them are within the 22 worst airlines...

Ryanair only brings up the long-haul issue every 1-3 years for free publicity, just like all the other cr@p that comes out of O'Leary's mouth to boost it.
I'm surprised that this time around they didn't mention

MOL has clearly said TATL doesnt interest FR as long as there is no aircraft available that compares to their deal on the 738. He mentioned that he is waiting for the next recession to pick up a few widebodies at cost.

Norwegian are the ones currently trying to adapt the low (or lower) cost model to transatlantic flights.
