The problem with making jokes about Ryanair (Low cost European Airline), is that the owner takes them as serious money making ideas. I post the link below with the comment that Mr O'Leary will do anything for publicity, but people planning future flights should be warned:

have they applied for bankruptcy protection yet? No? Tells you plenty about hos "successful" they are vs. some of the carriers in the US

Apparently pooling will not be allowed

I'm no apologist for Ryanair; I don't use them because I dislike their culture.

But Michael O'Leary does have a sense of humour.

"Consumer group Which? said the airline was putting "profit before passengers"

Smart as paint, some people. How many sandal and sock wearers did they take on to come up with that mind boggling insight?

O'Leary profit obsessed? Nothing could be further from the truth. Does everything out of sheer altruism, our Mick.

I have no problem with Ryanair and have used them several times. The airline and similar competitors was one of the great factors in making travel affordable for me.
