> There are many reasons I won't fly Ryanair

I swore off them a decade ago when I realised how adversarial their relationship with their passengers is.

Until an accident does happen, I have no doubt they'll trouser a lot of cash.

Not just adversarial to passengers but to their employees also.

I hadn't heard about this. They can't be having fun if that's the case, caught in between the treatment of their employer and the customers they pay it forward to (for money).

I fly with them all the time and never have any kind of issue at all. They offer a good deal, ok there’s a couple of obvious dark patterns in their app and way of doing business but they’re hardly unique in that respect. Feels like getting a fast bus between European cities nowadays.

But these bus companies have also been involved in fatal accidents more than a few times over the past years.

Multiple as a result of driver error or no outside involvement from a third party.

Do please give examples of Ryanair fatalities during that time.

Ryanair the bus company?

Well that revolver didn't go off the last 5 times I pointed it at my head and pulled the trigger. Surely on the 6th pull we can guarantee the same outcome!
