Yeah, I think that might have to do with being on a common check-in system. I just have a feeling Ryanair would not want to contribute anything to this! Don't even their check-in agents still use paper and pen? They have always been adamant that software costs money and have only used it for POS.

I'm sure a system would actually make them more efficient. Then again a smile and pleasantness would make them mildly customer friendly and they have never adopted that policy.
