Best part was right at the end….

Feels like more of a friendly catch up than an interview

[@billwest9110]

He’s right about Boeing. Stop with all the social justice bullshit in Seattle and build some damn planes.

[@prelude12341]

MBA/non-technical takeover....

[@bg7059]

Boeing needs to focus on getting parts, good parts. They need to stop with all the politics and social stuff and remember that the purpose of the company is to build planes.

LOL you mean Chicago?

My only problem with them is the whole thing about what you can bring onboard, and the extra fees… which didn’t exist years ago and now for some reason they do?
I should be allowed to bring a big backpack and put it into the overhead bin it’s ridiculous 😊

[@socungil]

You forget the fact that they are a low cost and somehow they have to make profit

[@aviation_sean9839]

Every low-cost airline would go bust very quickly if these “additional fees” were axed. No airline can sustain profit on £30 airfares alone. A basic understanding of economics would save people a lot of time from moaning about the likes of Ryanair and their business model of minimal hospitality and charging for any additional services a passenger requires! Seems pretty fair in my opinion, and obviously I’m not alone! Ryanair are now Europes largest airline and operate every market within the EU. Mr O’Leary did something right, and has never failed to pick up the slack left by failing competitors over the years!

How rude is that guy from Stockholm? Keeps calling him Mike, which is not his name!

[@Mrac-zz8vh]

Most slippery airline ever. Comes up with extra fees after you bought your tickets before the flight.. so you pay it or won't fly..or buy an other ticket from an other airline days before your flight..

[@aviation_sean9839]

Hi there, this is a standard business model amongst low cost airlines worldwide, no airline can sustain profit from cheap air fares regardless of how low the operating costs within the airline are! These additional charges are perfectly reasonable and are clearly stated in the terms and conditions a customer agrees to before booking! Here’s the perspective from the low-cost boys; you pay for a cheap air fare, with a no-thrills approach, and any additional services you wish to use E.G Priority boarding, onboard food and drink, onboard duty free, extra legroom seats, extra hand baggage or hold luggage all cost extra, because the perspective from the airlines is, most customers will want at least a few of these, and when an airline is carrying up to 60M+ passengers annually, that’s where their revenue comes from, all the additional charges! If an airline was to sell £40 air fares with no additional charges for extra services, there wouldn’t be any low-cost airlines left in business! Hope this helps! 👍🏼

There was no additional service for the the additional fee. The price of my flight simply changed in betwean the booking/payment and the flight. I flew a million times with cheap airlines and never experienced the same.

@@Mrac-zz8vh You are talking absolute bollox. I fly with RA at least 4 times a year for the past 10 years.
Once you pay for your flight you CANNOT be charged any extra to fly unless you opt to buy extras such as car hire, hotels, etc.

On 9th of June this year Ryanair sent letters to every single passanger who already bought their tickets with Budapest departure. In the letter they informed the passangers that they have to pay the full ammount of the "extra profit tax" that was imposed on Ryanair by the hungarian government.
10 Euros/passanger with EU destination and 25 euros for those were to fly outside the EU from Budapest.
They had to pay this extra if they wanted to keep their already payd tickets. No extra service in return. Budapest's customer protection agency ruled that
Ryanair for this abuse of customer rights now has to pay a 730 000 euro fine.

Ryanair is the worst of all airlines...

[@Prab-iu6mr]

complain, complain, and again complain. what do you expect with a flight less than 60pounds even with the extra fees and still it being fully safe

[@darrenmullally766]

Literally the best run airline in the world

[@kevocos]

I see you complain on a lot of youtube video about ryanair.
Did you boyfriend run off with a Ryanair air steward?

[@_tsu_]

It's 50 bucks roundtrip. Go fly to some beach get some fresh air and stop complaining you sad fool.
