There's no excuse now for Ryanair as he can now recruit as many ex-Monarch pilots as he wants/needs at a knock-down rate too Laughing

AND use them to slash the rates to his current pilots and cabin crew too.

Slash rates for sure but slash prices, not a chance!

Wasn't there a rumour once that he was going to charge for a slash?

Ha Ha, I think you're actually right there and he was/is thinking about charging a pound-a-pee. And how much for a dump (discount if you bring your own paper or use your own doggy bag)?

Dumps on outbound flights he pays you 10cents, because he disposes of it out there as manure at 150% markup. On inbound flights it costs you £3 waste disposal fee (but he secretly keeps it onboard to sell on next outbound trip).

No solution for Ryanair's current problems though. Apparently Ryanair use Boeing aircraft and Monarch used Airbus, and it would take three to four months to retrain the pilots.

...but what about excess carry-on (carry-IN) baggage charges then?

I've never flown a plane but driven literally a hundred plus different cars over my lifetime. How many pedals/steering wheels/dials/switches and knobs can there be on any airliner that another manufacturer doesn't include?
Either way, surely Ryanair should be able to get a very good leasing deal from Airbus right now and the pilots are sittiing on their thumbs waiting for another job so go Leary, go!.

I think flying a plane is a bit more complicated than driving a car!!

And I believe a pilot has to be licensed for each different type of plane he or she flies.

All Ryanair have to do is make some big keyboard overlays: cut big sheets of card to fit the Boeing dashboard to show the Monarch pilots where everything is and they've cracked it. Laughing

I suspect they are leased, so it wouldn't be as simple as that, or would it?
