This is kind of unfair since the EU legislation is fairly new and Rynair has been around before that. So to say they have their business model wrong would suggest that they foreseen this coming, which no one did.
Already being discussed in the volcano thread, doesn't need it's own thread surely.

- Is EU legislation on the need for airlines to compensate their passengers for delays fairly new
- I think that you will find that man other airlines have been around even longer than Ryanair, should they all be allowed to pick and choose what new legislation they acknowledge and adapt to

To be fair forcing airlines to foot a £500 hotel bill as a result of a £25 ultracheap ticket does strike me as a bit unfair.
Sorry I dont understand, what does this have to do with Ryanair?
It was introduced in 2004, so in the context of air travel yes, it is fairly new. Furthermore the scope of the legislation was there to protect passengers from issues arising mainly from the airlines own incompetence - if they plane breaks down or is cancelled it is their fault, not the passengers..
stockhausen along with britboy is the worst kind of lefty activist. the one that tells you to vote for another party just to keep the tories out.
they switched at the drop of the hat, talk about loyality!!!
More proof that lefties are shallow, fekle and a bunch of sell-outs
BOOT LABOUR

Do you think I too should be able to ignore any laws that came in after I was born?

Please do not put words into my mouth, i never said they should or anyone should pick and choose laws they abide to. I merely said YOUR comments and more specifically, Thread Title in relation to "bad business model" is wrong. That's it.
As to the whole who pays for all this, no doubt it'll end up in Court, it'll be cheaper to drag this through the Court than to pay out the hundreds of millions. Otherwise the Airlines will just file for bankruptcy and no one would get their money at all. Actually, if the Court do decide to uphold this, it will bankrupt a few airlines no doubt, and who does that benefit, and in bankruptcy, no one gets their money.

Surely as this is now part of every single one of your posts it is considered to be an extension of your sig and as such violates the OcUK sig size rules?
I personally don't come on here to have some random ramming their political preference down my throat.

That is really rather the point . . . Ryanair took a gamble and now want to be bailed out because they got their sums wrong . . . why just Ryanair . . . if you took out a mortgage to buy a house on the assumption that you would have a job and be able to make your payments, should the Government bail you out if your gamble didn't pay off
They're big boys, they should just suck it up like everyone else.

I think you will find that ALL airlines will struggle to pay for the amount of disruption. Think how many passengers BA were meant to take? DO you think they are in a financial position to pay millions for peoples hotel stay?
Is that going to be in all your post? If so can we just ban him now?
It's just spam, needless stupid spam posted by a complete and utter lunatic.

Good to see nothing changes with you, and you simply pretend any reply demonstrating how wrong you are doesn't exist.

I'm sure they will.
What is so special about Ryanair?
Why should they be permitted to choose which regulations apply to them and which don't?
If I turn up at the airport and say that I should be allowed to have a case put in the hold for nothing because I am hard-up, should Ryanair be compelled to waive their published rules in my "special" case?
They got it wrong - Ryanair should be compelled to pay - it's not as if they are *ankers, is it?

It's absolutely fair. A lot fairer than going on holiday, then being stranded for days or even weeks in a foreign country.
Is it fair that for my £200 house insurance, they will pay me £200,000 if my house burns down? What the airlines should have done is buy insurance (reinsurance if you like) to cover their loses should something like this happen.
Private companies - if they go bust, they go bust. Profits are private, so are losses.
