They’ve got a cheek

Just be thankful they didn't turn the other cheek! It's not all it's cracked up to be!!
It onced happened to me on a Ryanair flight from FAO to LBA.
The woman who sat next to me (I had the middle seat) was enormous, and I mean enormous and the blubber hung over so much as did the BO.
As soon as the seat belt sign was turned off thankfully she stood and walked to the rear galley and spent most of the flight there until the seat belt light came on for landing.
The thing that got me is when she originally sat down she stared at me as if to say ‘move up a bit’ but I stood my ground. They should be made to buy 2 seats as its just no fair for the poor sod sat next to them.

One of the few to survive the bankruptcy of Stobart as well! I like to believe whoever orchestrated everything knew this discussion was going to happen
Together with Ukrainian registered UR-BIG.

Just watched MOL's recent BRU press conference on YouTube. Sorry don't know how to post links but it's on the Ryanair Dff thread if anyone interested - it is 32 mins long. Typical MOL bullish attitude but in summary:
Lots of repeated use of the F word
Slags off Ursula Von Der Leyen repeatedly for aviation policy inaction in Europe
Particularly slags off the Belgian Govt repeatedly for raising aviation taxes and is why they are cutting aircraft, routes and bases at CRL and BRU moving a/c to places like Sweden, Italy, Slovakia and Hungary where aviation taxes are being abolished.
Confident of having 16 x Max10s for next summer.
Big increase in air fares for next year as current fuel hedging runs out from March 2027.
Predicting a 6m pax growth for FR next year being helped by other airline consolidation.
And most interestingly, which I know we have heard before, he says Norwegian and Wizz probably won't survive this coming winter, including referencing Volotea and Air Baltic in Chapter 11.
Predicts Europe will get to 4 big players - IAG, LHG, AF/KL group and of course........Ryanair.
Apologies if I have missed anything

Well I remember him claiming Jet2 would go bust about 10 years ago!
It's very naughty of him given Ryanair compete with Wizz on many routes. Possibly designed to get people to book Ryanair rather than Wizz, just in case?

Agree with him. UVDL has done nothing for aviation, is an unelected bureaucrat (tell me who she faced competition against) and is quite frankly useless. An evil witch with her cauldron and stick in Brussels.
As for lack of aviation policy - anything that comes out is usually useless and not required. Made up by over paid tossers on an over inflated salary, lining their own pockets, who have f**k all experience in the real world. Similar to at least 50% of the UK civil service.
Agree. Aviation is used as a cash cow for tax as people do need to travel. This was said also by Jet2 CEO Steve Heapy.
And the tossers know this so will use to. For a fake climate change agenda. There’s a reason for climate change - a mechanism for raising more tax as the agenda hidden happily behind propaganda.
The Europe 4 bit players. He’s again not wrong. Look at LH group buying TAP. Competition was from AF/KL.
Wizz strategy is becoming better but was at one point so all over the palace I’m surprised they survived to now. The good thing is Wizz conquered Eastern Europe and has very much good strength against Ryanair. In that area.
As for the rest it’s all over the place.

Total of 130x Ryanair weekly departures now on sale. The 3x based aircraft schedule is now fully utilised with all remaining gaps filled
Again I’ve updated the schedules I posted on here a few weeks back.
