Instead of making its money from ticket fares, Ryanair has become Europe’s most profitable airline by charging for extras like hold luggage and priority boarding that may cost it nothing. And Ryanair has a lot of passengers to sell those tickets to. Michael O’Leary, the chief executive, says his planes are filled from Friday to Tuesday. On less popular flights, this means selling a lot of tickets in advance at a loss, rather than expensively at the last minute. Any losses sustained on the tickets can, in theory, be recouped from the profits generated by selling add-ons.

In? Se vedno so profitabilni. Ne vem, kaj se ima lufthansa za repenciti. Potniki na ryanairovih letaih kerozin placajo skozi dodatek na prtljago. Pod crto, nic ni "pod ceno". Ker ce bi bilo "pod ceno" bi sel Ryanair po poti Adrie.

In cifra o porabi goriva avionov za ryanair, ki je boljsa kot pri potovanju z avtom, razen ce v njem ne sedijo vsaj trije, pove ogromno. Sploh ne gre za neko zelenost, ampak za iskanje ideoloskega sovraznika, skratka, gretenizem.

Kolumbovo jajce: Kolumb na ladji vzpodbuja naj postavijo jajce na mizo tako, da se ne bo skotalilo. Nihce ne zna. Kolumb pa jajce trdo pritisne, lupina poci, ampak jajce se ne odkotali. Obstane. Vsi se skandalizirajo, da tako bi pa tudi oni znali. No, pa niste. Nizkocenovniki znajo njihova konkurenca pa ne. To je problem tistih, ki ne znajo.
