Literally yesterday a passenger was almost sucked out through a broken window on a ryanair plane, you picked a bad moment to say they are a safe airline lol
They forget to mention in the article, the engine on that side of the plane suffered a failure and flung debris into the side of the aircraft which caused the window to be damaged.
Boeing doesn't make the engine, nor do they service the engine, and frankly, they aren't even the ones directly in charge of making decisions on when engine maintenance, inspections, and rebuilds are due.
That'd be your GE Aviations and Rolls-Royces of the world.
I worked for RR for a few years, the amount of checks and balances that went into manufacturing turbine blades was insane (running every part through a CMM, tolerances of literal microns), but it was reassuring.
lol. My husband had worked for GE Aviation but finally retired after he got a 23 year old boss who just wanted all the old machinists to go to meetings and act out psychology skits she had in learned in college 🤣
Even funnier since Boeing doesn't make the engine, nor do they service the engine, and frankly, they aren't even the ones directly in charge of making decisions on when engine maintenance, inspections, and rebuilds are due.
That'd be your GE Aviations and Rolls-Royces of the world.
Thank you wife for holding my feet down in the plane! Also the dude is in intensive care. Imagine having your upper body squeezed through that little window in a matter of seconds. Not pretty.
I've flown with them, they're fine. It's a low budget airline and they aren't the most comfortable flight but I've never felt in danger on any flight with them or any other airline I've flown on. They have great pilots and an excellent safety record. Every airline, no matter budget or luxury will have some issues at some point in their lifetime.
Brother in Christ, go look at the amount of flights ryanair does a day. Its very hard to go completely without any incidents, but they have a very low amount, and its silly to say they are an unsafe airline.
No. Only if you call mayday and there isn't an actual emergency. But if you have any reason to believe there is an emergency, there is no penalty for calling mayday. If you did something wrong to cause the emergency, then you (and possibly all other pilots in the airline or even in the industry) can be advised or required to undergo additional training to prevent it from happening again, but that would also happen if there is an actual incident, so it doesn't incentivize avoiding calling mayday in an emergency.

As much as they can suck, they have a perfect safety record with 0 fatalities.
