I think everyone who travels by budget airlines knows exactly what it is
There is no illusion
Young people don't remember the time when it was glamorous or expensive
But when people prepay and book flights in advance and plan trips, they would expect some notice instead of 50 flights cancelled with a days notice without there being some extraordinary circumstance such as adverse weather conditions
I'm now hearing on investigative reports that Ryanair have known this was coming for a very long time as shortages of pilots was getting worse
I letter from their operations director to all pilots exposes their potential implosion
I bet they gambled on it not making the headlines so readily and I wonder if they thought the attempted terrorist bomb might help bury their news
Poeple who were told of their flights cancellation were offered a refund or rebook without any word on the fact they are also entitled to compensation
It's only after today's hounding by the media that O'Leary has had to come clean on compensation
