Fantastic Results as expected. Doubled up. Will wait for my reward.

Now KIE have hinted at RI they will face tougher tendering tests to get HMG work. That's how it works.

Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary said on Wednesday that around 3,500 jobs would be slashed at the airline unless it could agree on a series of pay cuts with staff.

The airline is seeking pay cuts of up to 20% for flight crew and 10% for attendants across Europe, but faces pushback from trade unions.

“We've already announced about 3,500 job losses but we're engaged in extensive negotiations with our pilots, our cabin crew, and we're asking them to all take pay cuts as an alternative to job losses,” O'Leary said in an interview with the BBC.

“We're looking from 20% from the best paid captains, 5% from the lowest paid flight attendants"

So - Ryanair - the company sitting on 4Bn cash pile who took 600M from Bank of England treats its staff as bad as it treats its customers. With people worried about their jobs RYA are also planning to rip up the contracts agreed last year. No surprises of course but I really don't think this is the best way to run a company. Shareholders should revolt at the way this company is being managed.

Rights Issue. High Debt. Mass unemployment. Very risky.

Stunning trading report. Not many companies will post increased revenue to 31st May 2020. good one to buy and tuck away for a couple of years.

Results on Friday will be interesting reading. Might lead to some bargain buying.

With the lockdown and surge in internet shopping, which is here to stay, the results should be interesting. Online shopping uses 6 times more cardboard than retail. Obviously other sectors - travel, hospitality, motors and retail will have seen a massive drop in orders but I expect good news reading between the lines. Now those sectors are starting to revive it will be a good next 12 months and anything under 400p will (in the future) be seen as a bargain price. Looking to buy on any dips post results.

the pictures from Bournemouth beach today and yesterday? The second Covid spike is on its way. Bad news for airlines shares.

150p

Seems to fluctuate round 24 to 30p, just need a big break out.

Just admit you were wrong.

No Thanks.

The quarantine is necessary because of the very real danger of UK importing the killer virus from people coming from Spain or Portugal, just at the point where we have got it under control. Many of those people could have travelled to Spain or Portugal from other highly infected countries - Brazil, Mexico, Chile or USA. All this talk about bookings increasing is pure tosh. I wouldn't fancy being stuck for 2 hours in a metal tube next to some guy sneezing all flight. The FO travel advice is still saying don't fly and if bookings were so good why are the airlines taking the gov to court? All flights in the air are nearly empty or cargo flights. Trust me - the recovery in flying is a long way off. Just had some flights from Majorca on 25th June cancelled - a few days ago they were showing as "Sold Out" ! I notice all of August's flights are "Sold Out" too! Don't be fooled, this SP is going to be a lot cheaper very soon.

Well done Newbie2020 for selling at 270. I think we could see a few weeks of downside.

Been a while since you updated us on the GLEN soap opera. Can't be bothered reading the board but I do enjoy your updates on here. Have Ken and Deirdre re-married?

At last, the right decision. Sorry Netherlands.

Ancillary products? Oh please! First, you implied I'm lying. You asked for a substantiated price example - I gave you one. A 64% drop in real actual flight prices. Now, you're still not happy so come up with all this guff about ancillary products and Seville being an undesirable location. I think you'll find Seville is Spain's 4th biggest city, 3rd most visited and also the main airport for the Huelva and Cadiz beaches.

Just got email that my EZY Spain flight on 25th June cancelled. Hooray!! Applied for my refund. A few less hoops than Ryanair where you have to request a refund, then a month later receive a voucher, then reject that voucher if you can, and then request the refund again via a chat bot that takes over an hour to get through. Still waiting 11 weeks for refund from that abysmal Ryanair shower ... probably another 11 weeks until I get my money back. Hopefully EZY refund will be a bit quicker.

Hmm, I wonder why "the flight prices are dirt cheap? Because THEY CAN'T SELL THEM.

Wake up and smell the coffee guys. Of course bookings are up - I could sell tenners for a fiver and get plenty of customers. A quick bit of research shows that RYA have p***ed off 30 million customers with their refunds chaos, a killer virus is on the loose and people just don't want to fly even if their flight is still flying. Wait for the REAL results and the lack of revenue for airlines to start coming through. RYA at some stage will have to subtract all those millions of refunds (plus chargeback fees to banks) they owe from their cash reserves.

Well I support Lewis Hamilton and the BLM supporters that chucked a racist slave trader's statue in the river. Best place for it.
