''Maybe you guys should make him prime minister''
i hope he reads that1!!!
Yep this is true. I'd guess Ryanair just about break even on Flight ticket sales : flight overheads.
The whole point of putting bums on seats is essentially to get 200 or so people on metal tube for a couple of hours so they can sell you overpriced crap. Tis why they practically give them away sometimes.
Lol as for making O'Leary Taoiseach/PM, the guy would probably knick everything that wasn't nailed down in the Dail when he left office. He's an arrogant feck but you can't help but admire him in some ways.
O'Leary's father had nothing to do with GPA, Guinness Peat Aviation was setup and run by Tony Ryan, later founder of Ryanair. O'Leary was a tax consultant for Stokes Kennedy who meet with Ryan and advised him on his taxes, also O'Leary was in school with one of Ryans sons so that helped him get a job as Tony Ryans assistant / advisor. If memory serves, I think he took Dennis O'Briens job. The when Ryanair was up and running they went through one or two CEO's before O'Leary (who was keeping an eye on the place for Ryan) was given the reigns.

How many times a year do you all use Ryanair?

I use Ryanair every two weeks at least, sometimes twice a week and even three times a week in some cases. So i think this €2levy for regular flyers is a disgrace. And im not being like im Mr Ryanair but come on. Im a season ticket holder at the football team i support so every time i book its going to cost me an extra €2 thats not right.
