- Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary has told Sky his billionaire rival Sir Richard Branson should not be given a government bailout to save Virgin Atlantic.
Mr O'Leary also said the airline industry could be up and flying by June or July, but he rubbished social distancing proposals for planes.

@@marcmoloney9310 I know that. I was quoting Fiona Fay.
Haha indeed!

Michael O’Leary unafraid to slay the sacred cow that is Richard Branson .
And his passengers by banning social distancing...
Not a big O’Leary fan, but he’s right about a lot of stuff here, especially Branson.
No one complained about Branson when he funded the Remain campaign or bought NHS services?
kal77uk that doesn’t justify anything
Agreed
O.Leary is a jerk. Like the rest of Ireland they can beg the EU for subsidy.
I would not trust Mick O’Leary on anything.
Can we take a moment to appreciate his cheetah background
Or even his cheater background 😁
Daniel Kearney weird 😂
It’s spot on !
Exactly)))))))))))))
The cheetah is worth the refund, bail out ... These guys ...

O'Leary got out of bed on the right side this morning and talked sense for once
He seems to generally always talks sense.
He mostly talks sense
@@choppa1016 Mostly
@@apexduplex7351 O'Leary is probably one of the best and adept CEO's in the World hence his long tenure at the helm of a highly profitable airline! Shareholders and bond holders clearly are backing my sentiments otherwise he would have gone years ago! However, one only is as good as your last set of financials!
Like him or loathe him he not looking for Government handouts and he managing his payroll cost.
Cormac Keenan no but he is calling on the government to pay for the seats social distancing that they can’t sell.
@@keithwebster6164 for reasons that he explained. If they do that they will be operating at a loss.
Use his mass profits to pay staff
Brendan Sweeney pot and kettle
Patrick Johnson dame playing field for everyone then . All it will do is force prices up.
Talk about calling a spade a spade 😂😂😂 best interview iv seen during this covid 19 yet...bit on branson sitting on his island as a tax exile was a favourite 😂😂
Chris Mcbride I hope thats all it is a Tax haven ,The old Pervert.. 🐍
The four dislikes are from Richard Branson and family
lol
I would like but there is 69 dislikes
😂😂😂 love it !!
Richard Branson should be ashamed of himself. He can sell his island and bail himself out !!!
Charlie Brefo That would be a bad investment. Why invest your money when government handing it out? Business people don’t throw good money after bad.
This is the thing he doesn't want to forego his riches, he wants to maintain all.. What a greedy little man.
@@Luvliv89 Say that again !! Gorden Ramsey and Victoria Beckham should also be really ashamed !!!! They are all rich enough to bail themselves out !!
Charlie Brefo, Richard does not need to sell his island, he has enough money anyway
Who says it's possible for him to sell it in current circumstances? Who says anyone would buy it? British ppl will lose out on a quality airline and be left with low quality ones
Never really had much time for Mr O'Leary before but his comments on Branson are spot on.
Not generally an O'leary fan but everything said in that clip appeared spot on.
Have to agree
And while he can be an asshat, he pays personal taxes in ireland rather than running off to a tax haven. Ireland may be a corporate tax haven but not an individual one and O'Leary is frequently the largest tax payer in the state.
Not generally a fan of common sense so.
"Well said Sir", Virgin Atlantic's bail out/crisis fund cannot be the British taxpayer.
branson should get virgin money to give him a loan !
Genius - that made me smile, very witty, love it
Suzanne Bellamy lmao
Branson does not own all the equity of V Money, just like V Media. Owns a few percentage points, of each and gets license fees for use of his brand.
Suzanne Bellamy According to the press, he is not getting any monies. So very pleased, as he has been a tax exile, for fourteen years.
Suzanne Bellamy bloody hell no lol, I own virgin money shares.haha ... Branson is a complete sycophant...but he is a globalist.
Good on the Ryan Air boss to talk about it as the media is too afraid to touch Richard Branson.
Tell it like it is Michael, don’t be sugar coating it !! 😂😂
Branson charges people £60.000 per night to stay on his Island. This income is tax free . He needs to do the decent thing and pay his staff out of his own pocket.
True Branson pay yourself I will not fly Virgin again
This man at least is not out to fleece the taxpayer! And he talks a good measure of common sense, these days.
no he os just fleecing his customers by not paying refunds
Mr. O’Leary hit the nail on the head with regards to Lufthansa and Virgin.
Good man Michael. Who needs diplomacy in this day and age??!!!
This man tells it how it is...the truth
That's why the elite hate him, and he p ays his táxes, he's not an exile like Branson
Michael O'Leary as always, telling it how it is.
Brilliant! he’s telling it like it is!
Was he telling it like it is when he was a climate change denier too?
Michael O'Leary doing what he does best and tells it how it is
He is not everyone's cup of tea but he's a good business Man. and does pay his taxes to the UK unlike some.
To the irish government*
Ryan Air are lucky to have him, hes doing a great job.
Straight talking man... let Branson write the check... well said .... 🍀
Genuine fella not looking for bailouts.. Hats off
Talks alot of sense to be honest, people quick to kick Ryanair seems easy target
Ryanair are in fact one of the easiest and simplest airlines to get a refund from in normal circumstances (as long as your flight was cancelled or the airline was at fault). I'm sure they're doing their best.
Not my experience. And not what statistics say. This climate change denier wants free adverts here again
@@MrPhelimdoran People like to complain about Ryanair; however, they offer many the opportunity to travel who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford it. Nothing wrong with free advertising; means your flights are cheaper! They've improved significantly on the refund front over the past decade or so and have a very clear refund policy. Coronavirus has hit all airlines equally when it comes to refunds and extended waiting times. MOL likes to occasionally down play climate change but at least he does it using facts. I'm not saying that we shouldn't look after the environment (we absolutely should) but there are many more industries that put out a much higher volume of green house gas emissions whilst gaining less reward. Aviation is one of the most efficient industries out there and trust me, if airlines could have more efficient planes and pay a lower price for fuel, they would. Just wanted to bring up these few points.
Very good with refunds Ryanair, also the flights are a bargain.
Talking out your arse, not too hard to realise your not the only person in the world
@@ChidiLifts I have recently been refused refunds by Eithad and Condor both large carriers. In early January I was provided a refund by Ryanair in 10 minutes on live chat, the money entered my account in 8days.
Michael O’Leary lives in Ireland and pays taxes like everyone else. Good on him to call out Branson
Angela Foster But does he?
Robert Allardice yes of course. He’s a resident, he must pay tax.
Fully agree with the guy Branson is a leach.
JL H At least Branson is putting up some collateral to guarantee the loans. That is probably why this guy is pissed off. Branson isopening a can of worms that this guy is not prepared to do.
@@claudemaassen2963 Actually, Branson was denied a bailout request by the government due to the fact that he had little to no reasoning on why he deserves it, so he then went up and put his island in the caribbean as collateral. Why didn't he do that at first, he's got a hotel in Africa, he can put that up for collateral, he's got enough money!
Claude Maassen and Branson is a billionaire,who essentially owns the company.
O’Leary is a wealthy man,but not in the same league as Branson.
Also O’Leary doesn’t own the company,only the CEO,owning roughly 4% of shares .
@@1sparkythebouncer o' Leary nevertheless doesn't like Branson's approach and will do anything to prevent it. This, in spite of not owning the airline he works for.
Leech
Spot on mate! I'm booking Ryanair when this shits over
when michael o'leary or roy keane speak i make a cup of tea and listen
So do I. The kettle's in a different room and they sound better from there.
Watching this, I'm actually considering telling Ryanair to not worry about my refund, the can keep it for O'Leary telling it like it is!
Ha brilliant....straight talking Irish man 🇮🇪
The only Irish I’ve ever heard talk straight.
The Ryanair business model and it’s run isn’t for everybody, but he’s spot on here.
Never thought I would be cheering Michael O'Leary on!
Good on him, telling it like it is! Strange times indeed 😁
Thick
@@mirpurijournal8451 don't be so hard on yourself 😉
@@gail9299 I was referring to your brain.
This man built my honeymoon.
And now builds my trans national working life.
I've found places in Europe not know of by my family ..met people who truly were happy to host our travels.
Europe became more united under Ryanair.
Takes an out straight irish man to tell them like it is, lol... surprised they aired it.
Of course its sells itself lol....
In a mad world, yes @@athirkell
alexxxth yep 👍 I’ll be out straight with ya.
@@athirkell it's an irish saying but your getting it,🤣🤣👍👍👍
@@earthsgard Nothing but a mouthpiece , he is not liked in Ireland , after he sent one of his jets to bring in 200 strawberry pickers from europe WHILE THE COUNTRY IS IN LOCKDOWN
Richard Branson is a Gentleman not like o leary , Branson is trying to look after his staff
@@radiohfandsw4907 yeah by steeling from the tax payers
It has been pointed out to me that it doesn't just affect Branson, it affects his employees, well, here's the solution, Branson uses a portion of his fast fortune to pay the wages of those people for the remainder of the year, he would still be a multi billionaire with more money than everyone I know put together at the end of it, maybe he could offload that island he owns to help, I mean, were going through a bit of a time, needs must and all that like the rest of us, simple really.
Also, let's mention Virgin Health, and Branson's fits about that.
Except he can do what he wants with his money if he doesn't get any assistance
I mean I’d be happy with a million in the bank never mind all that.
The power of the super rich and government is out of control.
We all deserve a better life than spending all our time working to make there’s better
Vast
Perfect backdrop. Makes himself totally relatable.
Love him or hate him, he's the Willie Wonka of the airline game. Fuckin mad man , who knows exactly what he's doing.
And doesn't care about what people think or say about him !
Man's a legend
Got my refund from a cancelled Ryanair Moroccan flight yesterday.
When was your flight? 2 years ago? LOL
I like this guy, didn’t disagree with him once.
He says it like it is..would be a great politician
@@rogerward3390 there’s a great late late show interview he has great points about the government over regulating the tourism industry
Michael O’Leary speaks the truth and sense. The man is honourable . We need more people like him on business.
Yes we do, I was very surprised by his answers but I do respect him just a tad more for an honest interview
Of course Branson will get that money - he's a billionaire - he's one of 'them'.
i’m happy that he came out saying why ryanair is being slow at processing refunds i respect him for his honesty
Money money money must be funny in a rich man's world
Mr Mawson idk some ppl with all night and work so day just to pay the bills they have to pay
Ain’t it sad 😔
Sir Richard has gone from hero to zero to (rich) beggar. Working class made good, suing NHS, to now asking a country he does not support for a handout.
Not working class. Came from relative privilege.
@@alysonoleary2841 These people are never "working class": they have the money and the 'connections' to get them started.
Ryanair still has a strong balance sheet so he's eyeing up competitors in the same way as Lufthansa are. Difference is O'Leary isn't looking for a state handout to do it.
O Leary tells it as it is ... always refreshing.... Branson mmm Richard pay the wages lad and pop over to the bank for a help out your good for the money the freeloading has to stop
Love love this man. Flying with Ryanair for over 15 years up to 6-7 times a year. Was happy out to take a credit note for flights missed as tbh once there back in the air I will be booking. As for Micheal o leary is a straight talking Irish man doesn't mix his words. Carry on M.
I agree 100% with him, but still not flying Ryanair again. Once was enough
The last time I flew Ryanair, I ended up dropping a bag om two women's heads, sitting in the wrong aisle and then had to take someone else's window seat (that they paid extra for) because she couldn't get past the elderly man to my right. All in one flight. Think I'll just fly aer lingus next time
From what I've ready, 'never' is enough.
people will still fly ryanair when all of this is over because people still like cheap flights and people forget things easily
The backdrop. Good ole Michael trolling like a boss!!!
Branson is his Carole Baskins
Carole baskin.
Killed her husband, whacked him!
Can't convince me it didn't, happen!
Fed him, to tigers, they snackin'!
What's happenin'
Carole Baskin
This is all I hear everytime someone mention Carole
@@jonathanm2690 cringe
Hahaaaaaaa🐯🦁
What a pity there are not more and more people like Michael O'Leary who tells it like it is.
Shame not all top business people are as forthcoming and outspoken as him!
He is very good. Speaks the truth.
Enough said fly ryan air. Taxes stay local..
This is the same man who would sack his mother if he could save 10p.. Ryan air trying to promote themselves by pointing out virgin greed doesn't make Ryan air a fair company
He’s not asking for a public bailout like the others. I think that’s fair. Ryanair work off a cheap flights and low customer service model, it works.
He got his "no frills airline" ideas from "Flight Of The Phoenix" (1965).
I don't like O'Leary but he is right about spoiled brat Branson , who doesn't pay tax to the uk
Damn; I don't get out much but if and when I ever need to fly it's going to be RyanAir.
But Ryanair has told customers they won't be bothering to process ANY refunds until after the Covid-19 crisis has passed, whenever that is. Why can't they allow staff to process refunds from home?
I like him more the more I listen. Took a nothing airline and turned it into a game changer. Was quoted millions for a website at start, ignored big business and paid a DCU student 20 grand to do it.
@@LeMerch yea he has grown on me. People complain about the flights but for 30 euro I get to Rome, Amsterdam, Berlin, at times. Brilliant, hope it can continue
Legend he is
@@Irishesbox11 I'd neatly vote him Taoiseach. Toughbutfair.com
This man is a legend!
Love the sky without both of them diving into it
after all this enjoy staying in this country more.it makes sense.
That's the main reason we are seeing less air pollution.
No body will say anything about his background?
Tiger King 😅😅
He Irish. Leave him alone. 😉
It's the first thing that got me....Michael is the KiNg of trolling
Maybe Branson should get a loan from Virgin money.
Always loved his honesty
Getting a refund from EasyJet is agony at present. Ryanair on the other hand has a refund click button on the cancellation notification page. I couldn’t believe it. Good on them.
Man this is the first sensible person ive heard on the news for a while
Why does he only have 25% staffing levels. Surely refunds can be processed digitally by remote workers?
Yes exactly.
He gave his reason, staff can't work due to covid 19 social distancing regulations.
@@OCinneide how does nearly other contact centre in the world continue at near capacity with agents working from home, but not Ryanair?
Idk who this guy is but he is very knowledgeable and talks common sense.
MFL FREAK He is the genius behind Rynairs success.
This man is spot on & Virgin Atlantic should not receive any financial help from the government in anyway shape or form!
He's overfed that cat.
Yes sir.
Well said Michael all true, i didnt know how many passangers are due money back, great airline, keep up the good work,
I used to dislike O Leary until I found out he pays full tax in ireland, no loop holes, charity tax scams or off shore accounts ect , in today’s world that has to count for something.
A great airline
always there for people who want to fly cheaply
What a great man Mr O’Leary is. Ireland finest.
Nice dig at branson lol
Social distancing on an aircraft is complete nonsense. How bloody thick do the authorities think we are?
Id use Ryanair now more before anyone else. Seems really down to earth.
And Michael O Leary.....RyanAir has the audacity to not refund us with cash due to our cancelled trip to Spain because of the Covid 19 pandemic, and instead refund us with vouchers?! Wtf?
Raise the issue with ECCNET-UK@ec.europa.eu
@@suzie6889 Thanks for your help. Appreciate it. ☺
The refund should be automatic man the technology is there but there is stalling going on
Yeah, funny how it takes seconds for them to take it from your account, but months to give it back. Why the wait?
Bronson has done 46 years, thats about 39 too many.
O'leary is 10 times the businessman Branson is.
I would expect nothing else from the robber . B
I love Ryanair
I hate Virgin
I am a bus driver in London, I am sure I paid more tax than Richard Branson.
Virgin Atlantic pay £350m a year in taxes, so I doubt it
Shame we do not have more people like Michael in our political system.
Why not the complete interview?!
Apparently, Ryanair simply ignored requests for refunds and sent vouchers regardless. Shisters.
I don't think anyone will miss RyanAir if it were to fold during the Corona Virus crisis... see, every cloud has a silver lining.
no when this is all over people will still be flying ryanair because they are cheap and reliable ..
@@Alexlfc4ever97 I think the days of cheap flights are over but O'Leary hasn't quiet copped onto it yet, we are already hearing about "the new normal" so it's not clear how this is going to affect travel going into the future but it wouldn't be surprising if there are going to be severe restrictions which is going to reduce the number of flights and load factor.
No BS from O'Leary and keeping his staff on..... he would make an excellent PM
Virgin Atlantic’s major shareholder is Delta Airlines, an American company, so why ask the UK for a bailout?
The rogue and the luvvie
He’s a saint,compared to SIR RICHARD BRANSON
Ó leary is on the money as usual especially with branson
Probably the only time I've ever heard this man make sense!.
People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
