Ryanair tells cabin crew to lose weight in latest bid to save money

Why don't you have every staff member cut all their hair off ala Sinead Oconnor circa 1980s too!!

Yes McColgan, Drive by car from Savannah to Atlanta and then fly Atlanta-London-Dublin would indeed make most sense, it is what I would do, if however he has a reason to want to fly direct in to Dublin from the USA using Aerlingus (maybe he does not like London) he would have to go through JFK. Continental would be out of EWR.

Don;t be picking on the large ones, in an emergency they can be used as a floatation device, whilst the skinny ones die of hypothermia.

Paddy Ranger, isn't it quicker to fly thru LHR than to fly all the way up to NY from Savannah?????? That is what didn't make sense... you are talking around 1,000 miles vs. ???

and yes LHR is London, so Ciara, how is it untrue, you questioning what I said >?

What's untrue ? what I am saying does'nt make sense, how does it not make sense, yes McColgan, Atlanta, Baltimore and Philly are close to Savannah than JFK or Newark, but Aerlingus does not fly out of them if you want to go with Aerlingus you have to go out of JFK.....if you go through ATL, BWI or PHL like I said it is NOT direct, you would have to go through LHR or CDG, simple as that. Aerlingus advertises that it goes out of 40 cities or more out of the US....but you would have to go through a Aerlingus gateway of either JFK, ORD, SFO or LAX that's the only four they used when I worked for them, there was plans on going out of DCA, and for awhile they went out of MCO but I don't beloieve they do because of cutbacks.

ciara thanks, something about it didnt make sense...

LHR, London heathrow? By this way, this story is untrue.

paddy ranger--- thanks for the info---however, ATL, BWI and PHI are still closer than Kennedy or Newark to Savannah... What is LHR?

McColgan1492 "Georgie the Wanker-- you went on recently about being from Savannah, not Seatle... Now you claim that you fly out of JFK or Newark to get to Ireland........ Not only are you a coward, you are a liar......".........in fairness to the fat wanker coward georgie boy, he is not lying about having to depart out of JFK/EWR to go to Ireland, there is no direct flights out of Savannah to Ireland, and he could have gone down to MCO (Orlando) but Aerlingus cancelled those, the only way to Ireland would be from either ATL, BWI, PHL, MCO etc but you would have to transit through LHR......trust me I am in the industry used to work for Aerlingus ...now in a logistics job elsewhere but still now my flights and airports.

Perhaps O'Leary could address the various problems incurred on flights these day with some specific aircraft to deal with the peculiarities of the passengers. Of course they could not be daily flights due to the volume of traffic, but two flights a week might work ! For those that are overweight and have long legs (myself)he would be able to operate a couple of C-130's with longitudinal bench seats.....Other planes could be sectioned off with plexi-glass to contain the omnipresent screaming kids (they could press their noses against the glass and not be heard....Perhaps a couple of air- freight planes for those that consider a steamer trunk carry on baggage. fold down seats would be practical. To combat those that have to absolutely beat everyone else off the plane, seat belt unlocking devices operated in a central area by the flight crew in sequence might work. The food is so good, that it is hard to imaging any improvement there...

fatties should pay double,its bloody murder being squashed up next to one and they can seriously upset the center of gravity of an aircraft just by whaling up and down the isle,they make the aircraft act like a rollocoaster,and if they all get up and go to the loo at the same time,write your will.

Cabin crew are primarily female, at least on Aer O'Leary. After getting his sad faced east-European babes to lose their kits for his saucy calendar, now he wants anexoric staff? With the wages they're paid, they're unlikely to overeat. What does he weigh himself. Still, a fat tax is in order. I was stuck beside an overweight Englishman on flying back to Ireland from the Holy Land via UK in 2010. He needed a seat per butt cheek. Should have been changed double fair. Why should a fit Irish guy like me subsidise an obese Anglo-Saxon like him?

GeorgeDillon. Don't be talking about weight.Even your username looks fat.

I think he flew on the airline with the shamrock, and got worried that his cabin crew could end up with the same girt as theirs.
