“We don't have heavy landings anymore. If you say to someone,' look, hang onto the handle there, you're coming in to land', they'll be fine.....


Does he actually believe this nonsense?!? For the protection of humanity he must be sectioned immediately, any mental hospital recommendations? or shall we just tie him to the undercarriage of a ryanair plane ):

No need to tie him, he can just hold on! ;)

This gets raised every year or so. Not going to happen because the airlines don't want to have to go through the bother and not inconsiderable costs of getting the necessary regulatory approvals to the changes in plane layout and testing etc.

:D :D

How do his comments about useless seat belts tally with the findings of that recent experiment where they crashed the 727 in the Mexican desert?

I suspect too much of Dublin's more famous export.

Even travelling on a bus or tube you get bounced around even if holding on. How many times do you hear a crash of something insecure on landing. Never mind something like a go-around.

I detest that man. I'd sooner walk than fly Ryanair.

What this actually means is MOL hasn't been in the news for a while. The amount that Ryanair spend on advertising is actually very little to none! Either way if you love him or hate him you have to hand it to him that he is a very intelligent and fantastic businessman who has revolutionised European air travel.
