BBC Panorama (Why Hate Ryanair?) on Monday 12th Oct

Hilarious piece of television, caught some weeks ago at the annual Ryanair meeting.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/panorama/hi/front_page/newsid_8298000/8298750.stm

Ryanair will offer 100.000 free seats for every false claim made by the BBC. I think we are about to be presented with a few millions free seats !

If you want to try and watch it when it comes on in an hour try this site which has streams for most major channels http://www.tvguide.co.uk/

Watched the Panorama tonight and laughed so much! BBC making utter fools of themselves and creating a great ad for Ryanair. Michael O'Leary for president I say!

Oh yes i found it funny too
The beeb did try and rubbish ryanair and i'm sure they failed miserably, those who fly will still fly, those whom dont like a deal well all fool you.
The BBC got it oh so wrong when they said it seems the cheap deals are for those who can travel at the last minute, now if these so called establishments are in the business of research they would discover the deals are for those whom book early and dont travel for a few weeks.

Business is business.. poor airbus cannot understand why they were let down at the last minute... shockingly it seems Boeing offered the better deal so they won the contract and ryanair gained a fleet of cheap cheap planes the fanfare for that... again the BBC thought his was very underhand . numbnutts.

transatlantic i can't wait should top off being the largest airline in europe and probably the world hehe .... all airlines are watching ..i think MOL should patent his next idea .. will stop the others copying lol...

that moron on the plane ...lol.. did he want a video and inflight meal aswell.. what did he mean it was so basic... A-B cheap as a possible i say.

Hopefully the beeb will one day honour a un edited interview with MOL ..man that would be fun hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

My personal favourite is No. 11 -
"Panorama claimed that “O’Leary is a bully” – this is clearly
false when the whole world knows that O’Leary is a kind and gentle,
caring and thoughtful, sensitive and saintly human being widely beloved
by all Ryanair’s 6,500 people and its 66m passengers." Long live Mick

Hello!

It is only possible to watch this online from the uk.
Soes any body has recorded it? It would be great if you can upload it eg. on youtube...

The interview is available worldwide (I'm able to watch it here in Ireland) at : http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/8297211.stm

I watched the programme last night and it was a load of rubbish!

Who cares about seat reclining, firstly no one actually does this - in a matter of courtesy to a fellow passenger. Also, seat back pockets? There is the floor, your own bag, or the overhead locker?!?! Who really would stop flying Ryanair for that reason?

Well if pilots and cabin crew don't like Ryanair... there would be strikes and no one would work there. Utter nonsense!

Hidden charges - they don't exist. Still, even with ALL off the extras added on. The fares are still cheaper than Easyjet, Aer Lingus, and BA!

I am glad that Ryanair has come up top! I just find it to hard to believe that if everyone hates Ryanair - then why do nearly 70 million people choose to fly with them this year?

I loved watching it last night, made for a good laugh before I had to go to work my night shift.

Personally, I thought it very kind of the BBC to give a half hour of prime time television to Ryanair for free advertising. I lost count of the amount of Ryanair planes taking off, landing and taxi-ing. MOL should be thanking the BBC for this free publicity.

There is no strikes cos if you do that you are dissmised!
Ask in CIA to the italian crew!

Well if the entire cabin crew staff, or the significant majority walked out...

If that`s the best the BBC could do it was pretty poor.

Maybe they think as Ryanair has 60 million plus passengers per year then they will get decent viewing figures.

I watched the programme but couldn`t work out what they were trying to prove.

The Airbus deal is between the airline and Airbus. Why wouldn`t a business try and negotiate the best deal?

As for the £5.00 check in fee, they didn`t mention the promotional fares that were exempt.

The reporter also seemed surprised by the young lad who`d flown to many places from as little as 2p. Surely a bit of research would show that if you`re flexible the cheap deals are there.

Anyway, roll on December when I`m flying from BHX-DUB with the wife and the inlaws. Four people return for a total of £8.00. Cheers Mick. Keep the bargains coming...

Thanks to their offer I managed to get a 2p return to Dusseldorf! Thats all taxes and charges included. Been reading blogs etc. and they have said that it was sooo weak the program, and all that they put out is already known!

its now on youtube

The weakest point I thought was when Vivian White was actually onboard the aircraft, I think the "seats don't recline and there are no seat back pockets" incredibly weak. It suggested that he had nothing else to say!

Congratulations on your 2p return to Dusseldorf! There should be a competition for those who get the furthest for the cheapest!

Termination seems very high at ryanair for cabin crew,it must be because of training fee's.
We all know ryanair will never do anthing unless payment is made,i think it is the same for his staff...
