If Ryanair pilots were not given enough time to do flight planning (even though this is in reality a dispatchers job?)
45 mins is nothing like enough time for a thorough briefing for a multi sector day.

I read all the correspondance between Ryanair and Panorama last night. It gave me little appetite to watch the show and from what you guys say that was the right decision
I actually felt sorry for MOL having to defend himself against continuous Qs from the production team. I have a choice to fly Ryanair - unfortunately I don't have a choice on whether to buy on a tv license if I want to own a television set and would prefer to see my money spent more wisely by the BBC.

They booked FR - using the license payers' money. Where did they go? The biggest FR airports like DUB? Any of the other regular aiports used by FR? No, Stockholm-Vasteras. Why? Presumably to get in the dig about the aiport being a long way away. OK. Then they took the bus to the city? No. The train? No.
They hired a car! Oh well, it's on expenses, paid for by you and me.
I'm pretty sure that if I went to Vasteras on a low price airline, I'd be taking the bus. @:-)

Maestro is the debit card in the MasterCard family. For miles, you would need a MasterCard. I have a bmi MasterCard (apparently no longer issued to new applicants). Most miles-earning credit cards are Visa these days (apart from BA/AmEx and various MBNA/Amex cards).

Not really, because only a minority of FR's flights are to or from the UK. I don't have the stats, but I'd expect most of those 61m to be people flying from A to B where neither A nor B is in the UK.
