Oh no he's not ......... as your point proves his general point is that in spite of some people's comments people that fly Ryan like it so much they do so repeatedly.
He most certainly is incorrect. My original post was about the fact that he said "64 million people flew Ryanair last year - that more than watched Panorama and more than watched the BBC."
If you're going to multiple-count, then a hell of a lot more than 64 million people watched the BBC last year (and likely Panorama for that matter). If you're going to single-count, then a hell of a lot fewer than 64 million people flew Ryanair last year.
Either way, he is wrong.
Erm, yes. I was just going to say that.
I've never flown with them but admire their success. They must be doing something right, but they are not fro me. But they have helped me by creating an industry that is eve more mindful of value. His big issue will be if ever (g*d forbid) there is an incident. This could quickly bring the airline down as the issue will be either a mechanical / maintenenace issue or a human error and either way the scrutiny of his money saving programmes will be very close and highly judgemental.
Yes, I am curious quite how close to the edge he is skating. There was a revealing (and far more controversial) documentary on IIRC Channel 4 a few years ago which implied basically that Ryanair was an accident waiting to happen. So far, so good...
Just because he can be irritating we shouldn't misjudge his acuman or the success of his product.^
Yes, that is true.
