I fly a lot on company business and mostly have to use Ryanair and Easyjet. Fundamentally, they suck because they don't have a frequent flyer program. STN leaves me with no other choices and I rue the year that KLMuk pulled out of Stansted.
I could put up with all the other cr@p (starts a list as long as your arm) but if they had a FP program I'd be a lot warmer. Mind you, I'd certainly use any points gained for hotels or rental cars, not flights :-)
I suspect this fact may be a true for a many more RA loathers.
