RyanAir in Europe Announces big Boeing Order

[Ty Webb]

Seems that the airline situation in Europe is going through similar spasms as the US industry.

Surprised to read that David Bonderman, head of private equity firm Texas Pacific, is listed as the Chairman of RyanAir.

Hi!

I talked to some guys from GB. They say they can fly to Ireland and the Continent for as little as $25 round trip.

I previously read an article about Ryanair and they said eventually they will give away their in-advance tourist-class seats. They will make money on them by selling services such as in-flight meals and video.

I don't think I have any chance of making over $200K in the airline industry, which is OK. I'm making decent money now, and I will have the chance to make more if I wish.

I was thinking, in years past, that maybe $300K was possible, and would be nice, but I knew that more money wouldn't make me happy.

This is earth, and you have disappointment and disaster to temper your moments of happiness and grace.

And we are getting them with winglets. Plus our current fleet will be retrofitted with them. We are getting new aircrafts almost every week. Every eligible F/O will get a shot at upgrading this year. It's a good place to be right now.
