Both pilots grounded until further notice pending report. Michael O’Leary isn’t mad, it wasn’t his aircraft. The saying ‘all publicity is good publicity’ is very true. It happens quite regularly even as navigation equipment becomes more reliable, it’s not the first and won’t be the last time.
As with all aviation incidents it appears a string of very simple factors led to this landing (go-around, navigation aids off for calibration, distracted controller, proximity and layout of mistaken airstrip) which will come out in the investigation. There’s lessons to be learned for everybody.
For the Ryanair haters, let those of you who have never made a mistake throw the first stone. If you knew what you were talking about you wouldn’t be so quick.
We also have another saying for the haters; FTB (F~~@ The Begrudgers)
Are you a Ryanair pilot/employee then?
Pilot should be allowed to keep his job however suffer some sort of demotion, perhaps F/O and a further pay decrease on the inevitable pay decrease that a demotion would bring?
