Not the first Time John went at loggerheads with Michael O'Leary, was another court case a few yeras ago.
John is ex Aer Corps and had jumped ship back in 88. nice guy ,I remember him from his time on Hs 748s and ATR 42s with Ryanair..when it was indeed RYAN..air.
He's due to retire in October so it was probably the opertunity O'Leary was looking for without having to hold a going away party!Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe

I don't know whether the case around the issue is bad practise or unsafe.Legally they must have enough fuel for their diversionary alternative, they have not been found to be in breach of that legislation so the 'bad practises' are merely conjecture.
I would suggest that it was poor judgement on John Goss' behalf to go public on the issue prior to retirement.
While Ryanair have a deplorable HR record some of the pilots and ground staff have been with them since day one, you don't give 25 years working with someone that are painted to be demons.
I do remember people being paid per sector and some other God awful things, but it was accepted that they were entry level and good for hour building, career was not a by word with Ryanair.
Their safety record is proven, bums on seats and planes in the air, thats all that matters to O'Leary...attempt to undermine that and you are gone, especially if you yourself have signed a letter saying you have no problems in relation to safety issues three weeks earlier.
Wonder would O'Leary like a crack at running the HSE?

The IAA who are a government body backed MOLs stance, saying in not so many words that there is no safety problems.
The financial regulator who are a govt body backed the banks saying there was no problems- how did that work out for us?
The central bank a Govt body said no problemo with the banks- how did that work out for us?
Nearly every Govt body said there is no problems with banks/ Insurance/ letting Gardai run wild/ imprisioning "fallen women" / Catholic priests brothers abusing and raping kids / Issuing Lariam to one and all / not issuing hearing protection/ simply taking all the pension money from old folks living in nursing homes ... The list could go on and on.
Now really tel me why I should listen to the IAA and let my family fly ?? just to save 20 or 30 quid.Last edited by hedgehog; 18 August 2013, 11:49.Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

IAA would be subject to rules from the European Aviation Safety Agency, so they aren't on a solo run like some of those state bodies you point out.
In the IT industry we obsess about a 99.9% uptime (as in our services are available 99.9% of the time 24/7/365) I read somewhere that if we applied that rule to aviation we'd have a plane crash in europe once every 3 months.
Ryanair, or any other airline, will look to cut corners in all areas but safety will never be one of them, its like taking a wheel off your car to save on tyre wear.You're even dumber than I tell people
You might have been infected but you never were a bore

All Govt agencies are subject to Euro rules of some kind or another Al.
You cannot compare a computer crashing which results in no porn for an hour or two to an aircraft crashing. It's not a like scenario.
I am sure MOL is a nice guy, I am sure RA is a good airline, it's just I wouldn't fly on them simply to save a couple of quid, I don't like their service, but I am sure there are loads who like them and who think they are safe.
After the C4 programme, Why didnt RA commission an independent survey (anon) of all it's crew in regards to safety ?Last edited by hedgehog; 18 August 2013, 11:50.Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
