"Ryanair has been accused of 'fleecing its customers' after introducing a new charge to offset costs of their legal obligations to look after stranded travellers. The airline has announced it will introduce a £2 levy on all bookings made from Monday to cover 'unfair and discriminatory' pay-outs to stranded passengers who face delays or cancellations following disruption - such as during bad weather and the volcanic ash cloud. Whilst rival airlines have dubbed the new levy a 'smokescreen' and a 'very thinly disguised fuel charge', Ryanair are sticking by its guns. It said that over the past year it has suffered costs of about £87.8 million (more than 100 million euros) arising from flight cancellations, delays and the cost of providing care, compensation and legal expenses."-- AOL website
Couldn't you just ram that model plane down that f*cker's throat?
I suppose one could argue that you have a choice... ie. you don't have to fly by Ryanair (and personally I wouldn't) but they seem to be hell bent on being held liable for nothing and they pull out all the stops to get around the law.
Rant over.
