Where's the I hate Michael O'Leary thread then...

[Rooster1]

YES, People love his airline, millions agree
YES, It's profitable
YES, It employs people

BUT, this does not give the CEO the right to make disgusting comments about cyclists.

Is that was success allows ? The right to say whatever he likes.

 

[User482]

He runs a successful business that many millions use, and employs a lot of worker's.

That doesn't make him unique.

So what right would that be that the rest of us don't have?

He has the right to say whatever he likes. You have the right to argue it.

[QUOTE 4266277, member: 45"]Allowing toilet use doesn't lead to loss. It's a basic courtesy. Some business owners lack that.[/QUOTE]

Did they ever charge for using the toilet?

no

I never said they did (I merely mentioned the proposal), it was part of my joke originally!

As I already said, the proposal for charging people to use the toilets was just a publicity stunt. Same with standing only passengers, no way would the CAA allow that for safety reasons.

'Zactly.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Trust you to be sh!t-stirring about toilets....

Hey my original post was:

Both, and also charged £1 for the priviledge.

I merely mentioned the proposed cost as part of my joke, but it really did hit the fan (pun intended) when I was asked:

That little - crumbs

And I said:

Wasn't it £1 he was quoted as saying he'd charge for you to use the toilet?

Not my fault..... Much.....

Not it doesn't. Turnover makes jobs.

Well screeny's probably relating that to his own empire, his bank wont be interested in supporting him as a 'one man band' if his business model was shite whereas Ryanair's money through the bank is what it's all about.

I think the worst thing about Ryanair is that blue and yellow cabin colour scheme, vomit.

 

[screenman]

The 'margin' is what Ryanair makes after fixed costs are taken out. Included in those fixed costs are the cost of emptying the loos. But the money from which those fixed costs and margins come is provided by the fare paying passengers - not by Ryanair.

Ryanair aren't paying for all this - the passengers are - including Ryanair's margin. That's how business works.

So a business turning over say £50,000,000 a year but losing say £10,000,000 a year wil stay in business how long?

Why would I need the banks support for my business?

You're missing the point, I'm not talking about about the financial state of your business I'm talking about small business in general.

So why name me in the post?

 

[NorthernDave]

As for upselling the loo, why not as he has to pay to have them emptied.

What, you mean the toilets don't simply empty outside the plane when you flush? So I've been carefully timing my visits to coincide with being over London for nothing?

I wasn't actually critising you but never mind.

No problem but it certainly read that way.
