Ryanair just believe in telling it like ‘they think it is’. Have a look at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/3443739.stm to see how they have behaved to the disabled and this http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/investing-and-markets/article.html?in_art icle_id=414306&in_page_id=3 for some classic Michael O’Learyplain speaking.

They are planning to charge passengers £1 to use the toliets on flights.

I’ve seen the boss of Ryanair on the media here in the UK, he certainly doesn’t mince his words!

Anybody who lives in the UK or Ireland knows that Ryan Air love this sort of thing. Non customer service is there speciality. There whole attitude is if you don’t like us don’t fly with us but you won’t find anybody cheaper. And the truth is this attitude seems to work as have probably been the most successful airline in Europe over the past 15 years. I’m afraid Andy, as far as reputation management, is concerned ‘they are the exception that proves the rule’.

What a storm in a teacup. I suppose this is viewed as free advertising by Ryan Air, and will deflect attention from their new extra charges for cabin bags, or whatever new fine they've been given by the EU for misleading the public.

Congratulations to Ryanair, their reputation for straight speaking strikes again.

Lets be honest , the majority of bloggers are cranks venting their frustrations to anyone who will listen (and I’m amazed that Google give blogs such importance)

Opinions are like a**holes everybodies got one but most should keep them to themselves. Unfortunately blogs and the internet let everybody expose theirs (opinions that is ) to the world.

I’d like to apologise in advance to the minority of people who write useful blogs who will be offended at this post.

P.S. I do not work for Ryan Air

I just noticed the commentluv thing here, no good to me as obviously I dont blog

Whoops by Ryanair, but still Jason was trying to steal airline tickets and show his blog followers how to do it. I would understand a knee-jerk response like this because of that fact...behind closed doors. Jaan Kanellis's last blog post..Canonical Tag From Google: So Simple and Smart

Thanks to all for your thoughts. There’s always the theory that Ryanair wants an edgy reputation–although this is taking it to the extreme.

Ok I am reversing my previous take on there is no such thing.as bad publicity. Ryanair has certainly opened my eyes to that. I wonder if they are trying to be irreverent like the Southwest employees are but taking it a step further by resorting to name calling etc. Imagine their flights.

My first reaction was similar to everyone else’s… My second reaction was – who is this Ryanair I’ve never flown on? The unfortunate part is the next time I see their name on a flight schedule, I’ll recognize their name – I just hope I remember why I recognize them. This smells PR stunt everywhere.

CNN has just published a feature on this: http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TRAVEL/02/25/ryanair.blog/ . I bet Jason’s inbox is more than flooded
