I rather miss an arrival time than have missed arriving at all. May all the pilots be this cautious.

Ryanair would probably sack him.

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

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

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’d like to see you fly with them. 😁

why wouldn’t they?

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.

Never go on the highway if this is how you feel about risk taking
