Ryanair wants to sue the government for �3million
12 Answers
Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary called the security measures "a shambles".
If successful in its legal action, Dublin-based Ryanair said it would give the proceeds to charity
I guess thats good, that the money will go to charity if they are successful, but Ryanair, though they may be a "budget" airline, don't seem to care about passengers in "normal" times.. Im sure they have many happy fliers, but they do have a large percentage of unhappy ones as well.

I flew with RyanAir for the first time last week, and asides from standing in security at Gatwick for 3 hours, the journey was superb. The flight itself was what I expected and what I paid for - cheap and cheerful. The staff were great and the coffee tasted like mud - just like any other airline!

whatever you think of Mr O'Ryanair, he does appear to have a point. The 2000 Transport Act overrides the 1982 Aviation Security Act & its international requirements "in the event of severe international tension, great national emergency or actual or imminent hostilities". The act also makes it an offence to fail to comply with a government directive.
But the act also provides for compensation to be paid in respect of direct injury or loss as a result of complying with such a directive. It will be an interesting legal tussle.

Ryan Air flies form nowhere to nowhere else and is a tiddler in a sea of sharks. If iO'Bleary thinks he has cat in Hell's chance of success in suing the government then he is more deluded that I thought.
If you want damages for some alleged wrong and set out with the declared intention of giving away the award rather than using it to repair the alleged financial damage caused by the alleged wrong then no one is going to take your case seriously.
It is an entirely different matter after any compensation award. You are free to dispose of the award in any legal way you wish.
Michael O'Bleary is on a publicity crusade. Everyone from the government to the most lowly air industry person finds his antics laughable.

Hat Pin - yes you are right it is - outrageous isn't it? They pay you nothing for the first six months, what percentage is that of the national minimum wage? That's after you've paid nearly 100k to do your training too. Oh and they also charge you 50 quid to submit your cv and 350 for an interview - and they are not the only airline to do it either - life as an airline pilot isn't always that great to start with.
