    Air France have much deeper pockets than ryr and a national psyche that does not brook outside meddlers.
    So you object to people having their own criteria on which they make their choice of airline?

    LOL

    It reminds me of some famous trade unionist guy on the BBC in the 1970s who famously said "This will of course suit everybody except the customer".

    I cant understand the hate some people have for Ryanair. I couldnt care less what Mick O Leary says or does. Hes CEO of a private company whos services I can choose to avail of or not to avail of. Tell you what ... I'm actually proud that we have produced at least one world class indigenous company which isn't involved in property speculation.

    I wonder did you listen to the rte bird on the lunchtime news prattling on about the cost of a train ticket to Kerry? I nearly crashed the car laughing.
    75 squids actually.
    So you and your amateur economists can fly round most of Europe for a tenner?
    Without all the bungs the pikey is not going to survive, especially with all the parked airframes
    Vive la France!
    By the way AL is not the sharpest tool in the shed either!

    Nobody gives a stuff here about bungs ryr get elsewhere. Irish people are too self interested to bother about things like that
