Ryanair's fondness for landing on the most convenient runway (rather than landing into wind) is something that is well known in aviation circles. With a long enough runway this is perfectly safe. On 1800m of wet runway slightly less so...
So are you saying that the pilot decides which way to fly into an airport ???? and do you really think any pilot would take a risk to save a few minutes worth of fuel ??
Your post says I am scared of Ryanair too... after nearly running off the end of the runway at LBC when they tried to land on 1800m of wet tarmac with a tailwind
just to cut a few minutes off our travel time and save a few minutes worth of fuel.
I am saying that this is what you assume and I am saying you are talking rubbish
