Ryanair travel by air - subtle scams to be wary of [98]
It's not a scam when it says so clearly on the printed boarding card - prominently.
They deliberately fail to issue the stamp unless asked to. No other airline does this.
Personal, isn't it?
Yup.
Thats a serious warchest for any airline to have easy access to, in todays climate.
O'Leary claimed that only four major EU airlines will survive the recession. I wouldn't be surprised if he snapped up a few.
Aerlingus is the template, if he gets them without the EU's disapproval, he has complete control of some 75% of all internal and external flights over Irish airspace.
Post #42 makes complete sense. A 110kg allowance would give me 22kg of luggage (that's a lot of Ptasie Mleczko and DVDs lol). Under the current rules, I would be charged for the extra baggage, while some lazy 130kg salad dodger doesn't pay any more for his ticket, and still gets to take a bag! It makes no sense at all if you think about it.
Makes perfect sense but it would breach equality legislation.
The perpetually offended would go apesh*t.
Ryanair were causing havoc with their 30% shareholding too.
Aye.
Its a problem the government want rid. During the good times they could afford to subsidise AL, but not anymore. The T&Cs the older staff have there are ridiculous. A know a girl who used to work weekends and after college there, cleaning the planes. She picked up circa 500 euro a week and half the time, she spent that in the staff areas playing pool, watching tv and just foooking about. It took 15-20 minutes to clean a short haul flight, but they were allotted 90 minutes and just under an hour for a long haul but they were allotted three.
When management tried to reduce their allotted cleaning times, the unions went mad.
