How about Ryanair?

Because Ryanair are a success, many think it's too good to be true - and therefore are looking for faults. There is nothing wrong with them.

Is it true Italians clap their hands on a successful landing?

I have noticed that this is more common among eastern europen flyers now. I guess it generally depends how long you have travelled. Nowadays, most of italians are used to fly (but I remember 10 years ago the clapping was a must) so they don't clap anymore.

I linked to a thread on PPrune yesterday about a Ryanair captain who was demoted when he refused to do extra flights due to fatigue. There have been many others in a similar vein, suggesting management pressure to cut costs is compromising safety. Now I'm sure some of it is just gleeful bashing of a successful company but there's a significant weight of opinion, mostly from professional airline pilots, that Ryanair are a smoking hole in the ground waiting to happen. Its enough to convince me never to fly with them anyway.

Maybe because they think GOD has let them live a little longer to annoy the rest of europe?
