Some of the old O’Leary swagger returns
In commentary around Ryanair’s quarterly earnings, the airline boss suggested he would see down any attempt from pilots to gain further advantage from Ryanair’s self-inflicted rostering fiasco, and welcomed a probe from Britain’s aviation watchdog into the industry’s alleged policy of turning more profit by splitting families and friends in allocating seats.
Along with easyJet, Ryanair says it is happy to participate in the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority’s investigation. Mr O’Leary returned fire by suggesting it would be better employed probing long-haul airlines and their first-class seats.
