Interesting dis-claimer does that apply to everything on pprune? I'm sure our resident Tasmin Conditions expert would have something to say

boredsurfin, applies to pretty much every chat forum, I suppose. But I would guess that an aviation forum would be more vulnerable than most.

Nowadays the bucket airlines find it very difficult to compete with the BA,Swiss,KLM etc on hub routes. This is one reason EasyJet pulled out of Zurich and now fly to Basle but even there Swiss can match there prices.
Sorry, if you fly alot with ANY airline I still think coverng yourselves with yearly insurance for delay,s,bagage blah blah is the best way.

To put the medical equipment issue in perspective, I was in my local Somerfields yesterday and on the wall behind the tills was a full resuscitation kit including shock vest and next to it was a list of the people trained to use it and if they were in-store at the time. There were 10 people on the list and three in-store. An aircraft in flight is a much more stressful place than a small (5 tills) supermarket . . . from the above I think that a RA jet is the last place I want to be when the ticker has a hiccup.

I think Tony Blair should save taxpayers' money and fly Ryanair.

He did last year, didn't he (although for one trip only)?

Just got back from a couple of days away. We flew with Ryanair and I wasn't impressed (but then I wasn't disappointed per se either). I thought people were exaggerating when they were talking of the crew not being able to speak English... I didn't realise they were being serious!!! (Admittidly on the way back the chief steward was Irish - still couldn't understand half what he was saying/trying to sell us though).
Unlike easyJet, the only other budget airline I've flown on, I actually thought that it was obviously cheap. easyJet seemed to have a way of being cheap by not really offering anything, but being friendly and accomodating. Down to the crew mainly I think. They were also the two worst landings I think I've had (where do Ryanair get their pilots!?) - coming into Birmingham this morning, the pilot was moving the plane so much on the approach you felt he wasn't sure which runway he was using.

skisimon, the approach may have been affected by wind conditions. I do not know what IAA regulations are, but it could also be that the co-pilot has to keep current on manual (as opposed to automated) landings. And if it was the captain, even the best can be rather too positive sometimes. For that matter, if the runway is wet, you need a positive landing (rather than one that just kisses the surface, to prevent aqua planing, according to what my pilot colleagues wrote in my Service days. Not a huge fan of Ryanair - just looking at possibilities.

You know it makes sense.

skisimon, did the inflatable ramp damage the paintwork or was it just too close to open the driver's side door.?
