That sociopath fuck they have for a CEO of Ryanair have also wanted to charge £1 to use the lavatory, he's also wanted to remove most of the loos aboard the plane so he can shove in more seats. He's also suggested standing "seating", in order to cram in more people. Don't ask how you'll survive in the event of a crash, standing on your feet as the plane hits the ground...
Ryanair also offers some of the poorest working conditions in western Europe - apparantly irish legislation is super lax, because someone in the flight crew falling sick and being away for more than 3 days is grounds for termination (!), etc... It's absolutely sickening. Of course, the company's making money hands over fist. I will NEVER fly with them again myself though.

EU law has required charters to include all mandatory costs into the basic price, fortunately. Last time I flew with Ryan Air they had 'goodbye EasyJet, you've had a nice run' or something written on the plane ...
They are continuously searching the edge of cost cutting, and as long as the plane is safe and they don't exploit their crew I can appreciate being able to fly cheaply in Europe, and from Airports close by. Before these types of companies flying was extremely expensive and there were no cheap flights such as there were in the U.S. |

 Like a short while back, when a Ryanair pilot collided with another plane while taxiing, damaging the winglet and a spoiler on the aircraft and still took off anyway and flew to Barcelona with a full load of passengers without checking the airworthiness of the aircraft...! Recently Ryanair also made news for having to make an emergency landing because the aircraft in question was running out of fuel. Seems they're also pushing the margins on the fuel load they take on, so if weather conditions are poor at the destination site (such as in this case) they can't circle for very long.
