Wow, an accident happened,whoop di f*cking do.

It would be much worse if the plane crashed and all the passengers were killed. No one was injured, thank god. Human error, you must never have been a victim of it.

Oh are you one of those people who thinks that Ryanair are not as safe as other airlines because they are inexpensive?

Engineers, ground crew safety chiefs, technicians, trainers, policy makers, mid level managers, risk and budgeting officers, pilots & copilots, air crew, the list goes on. There's a lot of people who actually do deserve thanks for making air travel so safe.

No doubt Mr O Leery will tell all his critics to **** off and shouldent we all be gratefull for the fantastic service hes providing and screw safety thats for pussys.

I'm not O'Leary's biggest fan, but taxiway fender-benders happen all the time all over the world, for all kinds of reasons. It's not a Federal case. :pac:

I can;t wait to see how O'Leary spins this one. It will be gold. If there's one thing he can do it's spin good publicity.

When did he ever say anything even remotely like that?

SEPT 23 1989

Have they not the safest record in the history of aviation?

Don't let that get in the way of a bit of O'Leary bashing. Maybe if they spent more.time being productive and less time moaning they could afford not to fly with Ryanair.

In his biography " Profits first safety is an afterthought".

You seem to have a plane-sized chip on your shoulder regarding Ryanair OP, why's that? Didn't read the rules?

Anyway, where's all the crashes? You'd think there'd be some if they're so bad at safety, especially considering the amount of flights they run.

To be honest with the number of planes and the volume of flights it's got to very high. Don't they have more planes the BA?

I wonder would this thread have been started if it had been 2 Aer Lingus planes? Or BA or any other airline?

I doubt O'Leary is that stupid. An airline that does not care about safety would not last long or be as successful as Ryanair.

I also fail to see how you think this would only specifically happen to Ryanair. It was human error and luckily happened when taxiing, and not anything more serious.

What do you have against Ryanairs safety record?

I'm no fan of Michael O'Leary or Ryanair and God knows, there's lots of things you can give out about with the airline but safety isn't one of them.

Wouldn't be surprised if O Leary sues the op,he is is kind of touchy about online criticism.

I love Ryanair. They deliver me safely and on time to my destination and they're cheap.

You're too late to the party get your coat.:pac:

In a statement Ryanair said: "Two of our aircraft were taxiing slowly to the runway at Dublin Airport this morning. The winglet of one aircraft appears to have scraped the tail of the other.
There was no impact on customers on board. Ryanair has contacted the IAA and is working with them to return both aircraft to stand and allow normal operations at Dublin Airport to resume.

"Ryanair apologises sincerely to customers for any inconvenience."

Scraped the tail?Judging by the pictures it did a lot more than scrape it.

This ia like that time everyone was freaking out because RA pilots are instruceted to only put in the minimum amount of fuel required by aviation authorities.

Agreed, I'm non fussed about their staff though, the less contact I have with them the better, other than that it's a good service...

If both were taxiing then surely it's the tower at fault?

No. The pilots were obviously playing around. Having a race probably.
I heard they do that.

Is Michael still here? Where are you Michael?

I read an equally stupid piece in the paper the other day.
It related to a Ryanair plane having to do a go around due to another plane failing to clear the runway.
The heading was RYANAIR PLANE IN LANDING SCARE and then it went on about ryanair are cooperating with inquiries.
Idiots trying to invent safety issues for ryanair.

Philo Beddoe

Ryanair bashing aside, I do find this statement a bit disconcerting - "The winglet of one aircraft appears to have scraped the tail of the other." - considering photographs tweeted by passengers show part of the wing of one plane torn off and embedded in the tail of the other!
