Window seats can suck...

Fresh Air fee

The fee is doubled if you take advantage of it in flight without having pre purchased it.
If you look closely at the report, a bunch of people grabbed the passengers legs to keep them from being pulled out of the airplane, while this was happening the purser fished their credit card out of a pocket and charged the fresh air fee.

Boeing and CFM International have the 'splaining to do

I don't think RyanAir is to blame on this one

(they still suck tho)

Boeing has splaining to do here? Not really seeing why. I guess they could build the airplane as an armored truck, but thats some pretty high energy • when a fan fails. I don't think this is unique in aerospace engineering margins. Even from Toulouse.

Sidebar, as a passenger, I am constantly torn between aisle and window. Window is deeply uncomfortable, as I find myself leaning into the fuselage to avoid contact with my center seat friend (even if they aren't massive, just personal space). But if I'm aisle, I predictably am next to some stupid dumb f*** who puts the shade down from taxi out to landing. Like why are you in the window? So you can control the whole row because you're actually afraid of looking outside? Weak a*** stupid people. Drive a car. Don't clog up the airport with your kind. Your weak genes won't reproduce.

FAA already told them to fix the nacelle (by 2028 I think)
 
“A video posted on social media appeared to show an uncontained engine failure on the damaged Boeing 737, with fan blades missing. Such a failure occurs when internal components like fan blades shatter and breach the casing, sending debris flying.”

It is a requirement for design approval for all turbofan engines that they can contain parts during a failure. 14 CFR 33.94
“...it must be demonstrated by engine tests that the engine is capable of containing damage without catching fire and without failure of its mounting attachments when operated for at least 15 seconds, unless the resulting engine damage induces a self shutdown”

It this failure occurred on a test stand, it would not have been certificated. "Containing damage" has been argued over the years of occurrences, but virtually always in the context of parts being pooped out the back, not the side.

Window seat master race here. I knew there was something sus about you. Probably have some weird fetish for having your knees run into by a flight attendant pushing a cart.

Ahhh was this a maxxxxxx? I was under the impression it was an NG, but not following closely. If that's the case, fair enough, at least if that's the failure mode we are talking about here?

Way easier to grab em by the tush to get their attention from the aisle, duh. Way easier than sitting in the window, trying to gesture to the aisle person to grab their butt for you(?)

Teeechnically this was Malta Air with RyanAir paint on it (when Irish tax breaks still aren't good enough).

Who knows about the flight deck or cabin crew. RyanAir has been doing that Norwegian Air thing of piecing together whipsawed labor and AOCs into a flight schedule.

From what I understand… the majority of Ryanair flights are operated by Ryanair Europe or Malta Air, and I believe the crews operate aircraft from either interchangeably.

Ryanair UK and RyanAir Buzz though I believe have to be operated by UK and Buzz pilots respectively. Then Lauda is its own thing, which I believe is marketed as Ryanair operated by Lauda.

I recently went down a rabbit hole about Michael O’Leary and Ryanair and have to say it’s a pretty interesting business.
