OK, it's over. I naturally expect the boards at another pplace to start warming up.

Of course people are going to complain that the programme wasn't balanced, but there were certainly parts that were undeniably questionable:

(a) The apparent faking of references;
(b) The possibility of an aircraft departing with an unsafe slide.

But then there were parts of the programme that were definitely unfair to Ryanair too:

(c) The delays on boarding. Anyone working for any airline could delay an aircraft by spending too much time on checking the documentation. Yes, there should be security but it must be done appropriately.
(d) The non-opening of the bars on the ground in Spain. Well if they're not allowed to open them, what's the Captain supposed to do?

And certainly Ryanair's claim at the end that "900 hours works out at 18 hours a week" leaves Joe Public with completely the wrong impression as to FC hours.

It was interesting that the focus of the programme was more on corporate culture, mis-management of staff and poor rosters rather than proving that Ryanair is an unsafe airline.

On the basis of today's programme I didn't see anything that would make me never fly with them again (although I would think twice...)
