Ryanair passenger arrested for making a complaint.

Why don't RyanAir flights drop out of the sky regularly, given their scarcely believable turn-around times? Is it a testament to just how safe and reliable modern aircraft are now?

Well, they maintain a young fleet of planes and have to meet regulations around maintenance and servicing. So no reason why their planes would be dangerous. The turn-around times are more about being efficient on the ground, not missing/skipping services.

I don't see how rapid turnaround times would affect the reliability of the aircraft. The components don't care that passengers board and leave quickly. They are more concerned with being serviced according to Boeing's instructions.

the paper doesnt state the one thing that would decide if he is at fault... did he eat all the sandwich?

If he ate it all then complained, then tough st he is in the wrong, if he took one bite then handed it back and complained I can see where the issue comes from... you cant eat the sandwich (all of it) then decide not to pay for it as it was a little rubbery.

I ate some chinese food the other day, and then told the waiter that it was rubbery. I was stunned by the response, he was delighted with me ???

As above. If you run a fleet of maritime cattle ships, transporting live cargo around the planet, it is the mark of a well-run business that the ships are modern, low maintenace, fuel efficient, and you make sure to brutally minimise the time spent transferring the cattle. Typically, the cattle transfer time is an order of magnitude higher than any direct maintenance required in port, particularly if you monitor the hull and engines in real time, thus pre-empting any component failure.

Replace 'cattle ship' with 'Ruthless low-cost airline carrier' above - as long as the cattle are alive when offloaded, you get paid.

I thought Ryan Air didn't use new craft?

Gotta say when you play by O'Leary's rules the flying bus service does work. I flew back from France yesterday for £40. Paid with a pre-pay Mastercard so no credit card fees. Print boarding card. Take hand luggage only. Pret sandwich bought in the airport. Take-off and landing on schedule.

It only goes pear-shaped when you start to believe that Ryan Air is a proper airline with a commitment to customer service.

Treat it as National Coach Service, avoid ANY contact with their staff and it seems to work

I would agree with this. I would only add that one of the major downsides of flying with Ryanair is the quality of one's fellow passengers.

I occasionally 'have' to fly with them as they are the only carrier that flies to a certain airport that I use. I dread it beforehand and hate it during. Horrible company...

Their aircraft were all bought brand new. In fact one of their revenue streams was buying aircraft in bulk at discounted prices then selling some on. That's dried up of late
