Ryanair’s chief executive officer, Michael O’Leary, said “Ryanair believes that the BAA is an abusive airport monopoly, which engages in significant overcharging and monopoly profiteering at Stansted, to fund Ferrovial's [its owner] acquisition and operation of Heathrow Airport.”"(ShareCast)
Well, well, well...as a character in Dad's Army used to say: 'they don't like it up 'em, Mr Mannering'. Now, I might just be a mite prejudiced about the chief executive: Without a jot of information then or ever, the flight cancelled 5 mins before an expected lift-off while standing in the queue at that quaint little out-of-Paris, we close at midnight shed. Any Ryanair staff around to ascertain the whys and wherefores? Now don't be silly. Or perhaps it was the surprise three day 'I'm a nobody, get me out of here' experience in that exclusive industrial estate hotel which I was assigned to by some unknown French partisans that made my hols complete. Or could it be, all receipts submitted to the above airline's head office, never an acknowledgement and certainly nae a penny o' compo that tipped the balance against the big chief.When that Icelandic volcano was belching forth and the jets all over Europe were grounded, was I the sole day dreamer about a certain airline going bust?
