I've flown around Europe on many occasions with FR. Only once did I experience delaying issues. They've incorporated a healthy carry-on allowance of 10 kilos plus a small handbag/man bag. They're seating options are far cheaper than some of the legacy carriers. I find them proficient for a short hop to Europe.
With regards to aircraft preference, they're currently exploring the 737-900ER. These have the capacity to reach the east cost. This may be the more viable option as less seats will need to be filled.
Moreover, as we are aware, the current ryanair crew are proficient with the 737s hence little additional training would be required.

I assume they're using whatever mechanism they can to stick their web page to the top of the list...

But ryanair has to put brakes on its runaway hype machine for once?


:? I'm no Telegraph subscriber and the link works for me, or I wouldn't have posted it without a paywall warning (as I did with the initial reference from the FT).

A count of ten, and it seems to feature on news.google.co.uk quite heavily, so I notice it a few days into a new month...

That explains it. The only reason I picked the DT is that a colleague mentioned they'd seen the story there. I doubt I look at the DT more than once a year, so a target of ten a month would be quite a stretch.

They've managed to bribe or trick their way into the top story slot in news.google.co.uk. I've a cynical view that google is simply an advertiser, and its a bought spot. In which case I'll be looking for a new news aggregator...

You don't need to be cynical about that, it's exactly the way it happens.
