I feel sorry for Michael O' Leary...

[nicegirlsarenice]

One of the greatest entrepreneurs and real job-creators in Ireland, one of the major faces of Ireland abroad.

First it was 9/11 and the aftermath of checking passengers so much making it impossible to operate the "no frills" airline they had been selling.

Then the fuel prices skyrocketed and look to continue to rise.

Then the Irish government refused to allow Michael O' Leary have hangar 6 causing him to move 300 jobs abroad.

Then the Icelandic volcano happened and caused millions of euro of lost revenue and traumatic experience for some of the people flying.

And now he has to pay for all the accommodation and food costs for all of his passengers costing hundreds of euros each for in some cases a €4 ticket?

the man is a massive tool, he tried to buy aer lingus shares at €2.48 2 years ago and they are now 0.71 cent, he could have bankrupt Ryanair, he agreed to a six month price for his aviation fuel and watched as the price of crude oil fall away thus causing Ryanair to pay more than 120 million dollars more than their competitors.
he should go back to managing newsagents in kimmage, he treats his customers like livestock and primary reason for the success of ryanair is the price of a seat on their planes, if i was stuck with the missus, the mother-in-law and 3 ankle biters in some part of europe i would want re-compense...zero sympathy for o'leary.

every time there is a major sporting event on ..eg. Munster V Toulouse or Man Utd V Liverpool , the price trebles .

Maybe the Aer Lingus share price wouldn't have dropped so much if he had taken control.
Ryanair has helped significantly in getting the cost of flying down over the past 15 years. Aer Lingus and their cosy cartel are still more expensive and losing money. If you book early you can still get cheap flights, even for major sporting events.

I have sympathies for him too. I thought that 'forces of nature' like the volcano excluded airlines from compensating anything other than cost of flight. If he had flown his planes in spite of the restrictions imposed he would have been seen as a money grabbing boll**.

Ryanir, Tescos , Ikea and the likes force competition , there is no Cartel agreements with these Companies,
they have to be good for the consumer. The alternative --- Rip Off Ireland.
The shaggin Dust Cloud is hardly of O`Leary`s making , I do think that compensation ruling is wrong.

[Mousey]

He's an evil capitalist bastard. Use Ryanair by all means if you want - but I'd hate to work for the cunt.

[Reggie]

I recall an exposure documentory on Ryanair a while ago , most of their staff are subcontracted from a ruthless company called Crewlink Ltd. --- to be enrolled on their books you have to fork out €1500 I believe
to get "trained" up . The major opt out by Ryanair by doing this is they are not responsible for employees pensions.

I have no time at all for that cunt O'Leary simply a rude person I abhor rude people....

Tesco??? Don't over estimate what you think Tesco has done for keeping prices down and for competition in this counrty.........

Have a look at the abolishment of the grocery order which that lobbied to have removed as they said it kept prices falsely inflated, and what happened when it was abolishesd??? Fuck all except to allow them to sell some product, mainly drink as a loss leader to drive footfall which did piss all for the ordinary customer...........

Tesco and the like have been responsible for the closure of corner shops, family run business and local retailers the length and breath of the country.........

Here's a little something for you about tesco and their maeketing machine. This if fact, I'm not making this up, I've seen this with my own eyes and it's just and example..............

Kelloggs crunchy nut cornflakes.............

750g cost €3.53. That's €4.71 per kg..........

1kg cost €5.15. That's €5.15 per kg...........

On the 1kg box it says "1kg best value pack"



Per kg, it clearly isn't the best value pack, but people will assume, because they are in Tesco, and it says it on the box, it must be the best value. 9 people out of 10 will pick up the bigger box thinking they are getting the best value for their family but they have just been cheated by the marketing machine, and had their trust taken advantage of by the very same Tesco...........
