'Feckin Eejits' (11/11/13)
The Guardian published an unusual story the other day - twenty memorable, tongue-in-cheek, quotes from the extrovert boss of Ryanair, Michael O'Leary.
Here are my six favourites.
3 "You're not getting a refund so fuck off. We don't want to hear your sob stories. What part of 'no refund' don't you understand?"
Here are my six favourites.
1 "If drink sales are falling off, we get the pilots to engineer a bit of turbulence. That usually spikes sales."
2 On passengers who forget to print their boarding passes: "We think they should pay €60 for being so stupid."
3 "You're not getting a refund so fuck off. We don't want to hear your sob stories. What part of 'no refund' don't you understand?"
4 "All flights are fuelled with Leprechaun wee and my bullshit!"
5 "I should get the Nobel peace prize – screw Bono."
6 "Nobody wants to sit beside a really fat bastard on board. We have been frankly astonished at the number of customers who not only want to tax fat people but torture them."
I've noticed that Ryanair and other airlines have been in the media recently for having to divert flights and offload drunken, abusive passengers - who are always drunk and anti-social.
What I don't understand is how these clowns get too resume their journeys with another airline.
Because just like people who get thrown out of pubs for being obnoxious, you would have though that all of the airlines would join together - in the same way as the pub owners - and refuse to let these 'feckin eejits' back in the air.
Maybe I'll drop Michael an email to suggest just that - apparently Ryanair has promised to turn over a new leaf by making its web site more customer friendly and dropping some of its more irritating rules.
Sounds good to me.
