How about Ryanair?

[Francko]

Was reading one of the post about usual Ryanair landings, and I dare to say that I have to agree, flew with them so many times.

However, I have heard mixed rumours about the company. Some say they pay special care to safety features while others say they don't. Can't find too much reference. Anyone has something to share?

Because Ryanair are a success, many think it's too good to be true - and therefore are looking for faults. There is nothing wrong with them.

Is it true Italians clap their hands on a successful landing?

I have noticed that this is more common among eastern europen flyers now. I guess it generally depends how long you have travelled. Nowadays, most of italians are used to fly (but I remember 10 years ago the clapping was a must) so they don't clap anymore.

why do Italians clap at the end of movies in a theatre ?

the actors aren't listening.

I linked to a thread on PPrune yesterday about a Ryanair captain who was demoted when he refused to do extra flights due to fatigue. There have been many others in a similar vein, suggesting management pressure to cut costs is compromising safety. Now I'm sure some of it is just gleeful bashing of a successful company but there's a significant weight of opinion, mostly from professional airline pilots, that Ryanair are a smoking hole in the ground waiting to happen. Its enough to convince me never to fly with them anyway.

Maybe because they think GOD has let them live a little longer to annoy the rest of europe?
