Boeing was probably forced to sell them the planes.

But given your seething description of them, they should be completely irrelevant by now? I mean, people don't actually want cheap no-frills flights do they?

O'Leary is supposed to be working with a Chinese plane manaufacturer and I'm sure it was reported recently that they weren't going to buy any more Boeing's (fleet is currently all Boeing) in the foreseeable future.

He had previously told Comac he would take 400 if they could develop a variant with 200 seats but he never actually signed a MOU with them. Maybe Boeing offered more favourable terms after Lion Air cancelled their order.

Ryanair are an excellent airline. Stop trying to compare them to a BA or VS and accept them for what they are, buses in the sky. I probably use them 5-6 times a year and only do so because they are such good value.

I do chuckle when I see people slagging off something they paid so little for.

Exactly this.

I must have had close on 100 flights with Ryanair.
May be just 1 was a problem.

Apart from that, they are the first airline website I click onto.

I think O'Leary would need to be getting planes at least free to move away from 737s and probably paid to take them. But he wouldn't want Boeing to become complacent.

What don't we get?
And if you explain, why should we care?

I certainly do. You don't like his honesty. You need to be told you're special by company CEOs and staff and that your sole purpose definitely is not to milk money from.

The exact opposite of this. Well 'got'

I booked a ticket yesterday with them yesterday.
Wow, the price transparency has been the best I have ever experienced with Ryanair, there was even no fee for the debit card (perhaps an temporary omission or promotion?). I wonder if it's to do with the recent fine they got. Mind you still lots of silly adverts and offers I wasn't interested in.

IIRC there was a court ruling on this recently - not sure if they've just reduced the amount airlines can charge or stopped it completely, but maybe they've decided to focus on other revenue increasing sources instead?

Budget airlines including Ryanair and easyJet have agreed to include the cost of paying by debit card in the headline price of tickets - ending a scam that made it almost impossible to pay for tickets without a charge.
Aer Lingus, BMI Baby, Eastern Airways, easyJet, Flybe, German Wings, Jet2, Lufthansa, Ryanair, Thomas Cook, Thomson (TUI) and Wizz Air have been forced to undertake the changes after an Office of Fair Trading consumer law investigation.
By December this year (2012), the airlines will have to include the price of paying by debit card in the headline price of air tickets. They will also have to explain any additional fee for paying by credit card up front so that charges are not sprung on passengers at the end of a lengthy booking process.

So the charge has not gone away it's just included in the fare.
