Branners Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 It has to be said, the Ryan Air clientele are not the best behaved, so I can see a bottle of wee being presented to the stewardess by somebody who doesnt want to pay. Lord knows what they will do with the poo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aero-M Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 It would worry me to travel with ryan air. Makes you wonder if they make savings on vital things like servicing and upkeep of the aircraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiten55 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 to be honest ive been with ryanair to poland a few times, my mate travels with them a lot as do most of his uni mates. dont think ive ever heard anything really bad about them to be honest. i've certainly never experienced it. not even a moody flight attendant... maybe im just one of the lucky ones? but you get what you pay for, my return flights to poland have cost me £20 tops, and for that i dont expect a 5 course meal. and i guess in the current climate they have to start charging for things like that to make the business worthwhile. considering all the flights are short haul, if people are that upset about paying a "pound-to-pi$$" then have one at the terminal, dont drink on the flight, and hey presto instant savings i bet theres a lot of things included in the airfare of major airlines that arent shown, we just take them for granted. like the free in flight meal. its not free. somewhere along the line the costs of that meal and drinks etc have been calculated into the price of the ticket. so by cutting alot of that out and giving people the choice, ryanair are actually increasing numbers of travellers. As a basic business model it obviously works otherwise they wouldnt be doing it. same with easy jet really. Good ol' Stelios has made a packet out of providing the basics at an absurdly cheap rate, then charging people more for the extras they want. Easy- Hotel - prime example. a room with a bed and a wardrobe. thats it. everything else is communal as far as i know. either way, the system works. and i use it, so from my point of view i hope they keep going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supspower Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I recently flew over to spain for a weekend to chill and on the way back i swear i thought we were gonna die!! never felt so much turbulance in my life and i have flew many times. This was the 1st time i flew with ryanair and apart from that it was alrite. They are alot cheaper than most airlines but after my mate told me a reason why he will not fly with ryanair i now will not be flying with them....some light reading Ryanair is threatening to sack pilots after being criticised by air accident investigators over a series of dangerous approaches to airports. In the latest incident to emerge, an aircraft flew so low over rooftops that it triggered two warnings in the cockpit and sixteen complaints from alarmed residents. It was the third serious incident in less than a year, and the fourth in two years, involving a Ryanair jet approaching an airport too fast or at the wrong height and being forced to abort landing. All Ryanair staff are under pressure to meet turnaround times of only 25 minutes, the tightest in the industry, and pilot unions say that this can lead to mistakes. Pilot unions said that the memo would force the problem underground, leaving pilots too frightened of losing their jobs to cooperate with efforts to find out why the incidents were happening. The Irish Air Accident Investigation Unit last week issued a report on the third incident, which involved a flight carrying 134 people from Stansted to Cork on June 4 last year. As the aircraft approached Cork, the captain realised that he was too high to make a safe landing. The co-pilot advised him to perform a “go-around”, which would involve the aircraft flying straight ahead and climbing to 3,000ft before beginning a new approach. But the captain decided to fly in a tight circle to lose height and land only minutes later. He banked so hard that he exceeded the normal operating limit for tilting the Boeing 737’s wings. The captain ignored repeated warnings from the co-pilot that he was losing height. The aircraft came within 425ft of the ground as it passed over the suburbs of Cork and the cockpit “ground proximity” alarm sounded twice. The report said the “serious incident” was caused by the captain failing to comply with standard procedures and ignoring the advice of the co-pilot. It referred to a previous incident, on March 23, 2006, when another Ryanair aircraft only “marginally avoided” crashing during an approach to Knock, in western Ireland. The unit criticised the airline for failing to report the incident for almost two weeks, by which time some evidence had been deleted.

bigbloodyturbo Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 They don't have a terribly good reputation on the maintenance side of things either from what I hear. Most Engineers I talk to about looking for work say to steer well clear of Ryanair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Whatever you may say about them, they have flown 1000s and 1000s of hours and not crashed once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
