Ryanair caught napping: documentary by BBC
Hello everybody, I heard there has been a documentary made by some members of BBC who were engaged at Ryanair for about 6 months. 2 or 3 stewardesses filmed everything during that time and it seems to be very freighting , can someone tell me where I could find this TV show ? Thank you
Here is the link :

What a disaster!
I've actually concidered flying Ryanair if they ever come to BEG but after this I am having serious dbouts.
Does it really pay of to be at such risk? I don't think so. Yet again, this documentary may not be true although it seems very real and I actually think that it is true since it is really unreasnoble to ask the crew to prepare the aircraft for it's next flight in 25 minutes!
Apsolute disaster...

Every accusation made by this program has been prven wrong by FR in repeted lettres, published on their site at the time. Even the CAA has said the program is basicly rubbish. Good old English sensationalism, nothing more...
The ads announcing the show at the time were even fake, so that says enough.
Not that everything at FR is good, but if you film 6 months at BA, you'll uncover the same small problems.

- All BA flight attendant speak perfect english.
- Don't think U'd c puke not being cleaned up.
Since BA puts more money into training and actually pays for the training I believe, the selection procedure must be a lot more rigorous no?

English is not the national language of any country of mainland Europ - it's the first language of only two excentred islands : Britain and Ireland (or is it Gaelic ?).Vinnie-Winnie wrote:- All BA flight attendant speak perfect english.
For a typical flight between European countries, say, between France and Italy, the Ryanair crew, being based either in France or in Italy, will probably speak both French and Italian, which is much more useful in this case than speaking "perfect English".
Quite an interesting documentary and at a times shocking. But like all the investigative documentaries they only show you what they want you to see. The 2 air hostesses in disguise were on the job for 5 months so in most jobs and airlines you will find lapses in customer service, safety, security, etc...
Every month some investigative journalist always manages to sneak a knife, gun, false explosive past security in a European airport!
I do agree that Ryanair are dirt cheap but that's what you pay for your average 90 min flight. If you want better customer service and safety records then you can start with the likes of Easyjet, BA and go right up to hiring a private jet where you can personaly inspect what and who goes on the plane.

Be very carefull with what you say about safety.Captain wrote: If you want better customer service and safety records then you can start with the likes of Easyjet, BA and go right up to hiring a private jet where you can personaly inspect what and who goes on the plane.
FR has had an great safety record for 20 years! They'll save on anything, but not on safety.
