Quite frankly it looked a lot like sigling out by a British national broadcaster. There was not a recently broadcast report on the UKs low cost carrier EasyJet or BA, which has a far worse safety record.

I do understand that Ryanair pilots are not paid very generously and it is easy to see that some may be unhappy after paying so much to become qualified. But making a documentary about an airline following EU regulations is quite absurd.
