When you pay 5€ for a flight, what the heck did you expect?

Remind me to never fly Ryanair. I don't want to have my money taken and be a in a delay without anything to drink or eat. Bloody joke of a company. I say we go and egg their planes!

Kinda reminds me of Valujet, that cheap US carrier from the 1990s. They didn't really give a ###### about the passengers, and they didn't do a very good job taking care of the airplanes either. And because of which, one of their first flights crashed in the Everglades in Florida. Within a few month's, they're name was gone.

That is just sick saying that the seat 1A passenger will be dead in a crash. I think I will remove the Ryanair colors from my PMDG 737, just sick! Posted Image :lol:

that's amazing...

I loved this part:

we only clean the aircraft once a day because we have 25 minute turnarounds, and it's impossible to clean the aircraft on a 25 minute turnaround..

SWA schedules 25 minute turnarounds, and their planes are spotless :lol:

I think it was TED that took it's ground crew to a NASCAR track during a race, and used them as a pit-crew. It really taught them a lot, and it brought an A320 turn around down to 30 minutes. What an ingenious idea. :lol:

Same here.

That organization is just "plane" ( :lol: ) unprofessional. Ryanair is a hazard to the skies. Plain and simple. Hopefully Ryanair's executives are feeling disclosed and are making changes to company policies.

My friend showed this to me when I was at his house today...it's amazing how horrible they seem to be.  I've heard some bad things about Ryanair from people who have flown on them, but this is just sad....

I just finished watching the whole thing, and that is a shame that such amazing planes are treated like pieces of ######! The thing with the 'sick' and the aftershave is terrible, I would be ashamed to step on their planes.

Absolutley disgusting.

Likewise, saw it ages ago on C4

A guy i know is a pilot with these lot, he used to be cargo then decided he would like to do commercial as the money is apparently a lot more. After applying to many airlines this was the only firm that offered a job, and believe me when i say what that pilot says in this documentary reference hours is spot on

He said the majority of pilots who are there only take the crap to get there hours up so they can spread their wings  :lol:

When you are successful and are accepted into this company they sit you in a room with another 5-6 guys and tell you EXACTLY the way it is, you have a choice take it or leave it!

My friend is still with them and said although he loves what he does it's like a prison sentence being employed by them, hopefully one of the many applications he is sending out on a regular basis will come up trumps for him some time soon

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryanair

they haven't crashed but have had some close calls :lol:

the airline is a disgrace and should be shut down...i can't believe they even considered bidding for Aer Lingus because if they had won the bid nobody would fly to ireland under and Irish Airline anymore :lol:
