    its about time Ryanair was properly punished. its their own operating practices that lead to the strikes. so entirely their fault.
    maybe cancelling their operators licence might gee them up a bit perhaps?

    Once again we see a completely one sided MSE campaign against RyanAir which given the stated principles of this site is totally illogical.
    As RyanAir state:
    "In recent years during which there were over 15 days of pilot and cabin crew strikes in Germany, Lufthansa was not required to pay EU261 compensation. Similarly, the UK CAA should also explain why it took no action against BA during last year's cabin crew strikes."

    I dont recall the MSE news outrage over either Lufthansa or BA.

    I think the general point is the UK CAA is useless on EU Reg EC 261:2004 to the detriment of passengers irrespective of what airline they are booked on.
