subject: Ridiculous RyanAir [print this page] In a society where there is no such thing as bad publicity, Michael O'Leary is really cashing in on it. The boss of low cost airline Ryan Air is known for making outlandish claims and suggesting ridiculous ways to save the company money, ruffling feathers in the process. His last suggestion was that the airline charges people for using the toilet on flights, something that you don't really have a choice about when in the air on route to another county. If you gotta go, you gotta go!
His latest comments on the idea that man made pollution is causing global warming have been dismissed by him, which won't have gone down well with environmental campaigners. He went as far as to say "The scientific community has nearly always been wrong in history anyway. In the Middle Ages, they were going to excommunicate Galileo because the entire scientific community said the Earth was flat."
Greenpeace's Joss Garman in response said "Personally, I wouldn't trust 'O'Really' to tell me the price of a seat on his own airline, but to be fair his position does have the support of such intellectual heavyweights as Nick Griffin, Sarah Palin and George W Bush."
With the current furore hitting the low cost airlines after the BMIBaby hand luggage scandal, low cost airlines are being forced to address charges that are deemed unfair by the public, so attention is being drawn to them all. If you are a fan of a cheap holiday and use low cost airlines, then why not buy Cheap Insurance Travel online and save yourselves pennies for the additional charges at the airport.
