For all the fame and fortune, he knows that one day he could, Icarus-like, come falling out of the sky. "Any chief executive who doesn't have a sense of their own mortality is heading for disaster. They read articles describing themselves as visionaries and geniuses. They shouldn't believe it any more than when the press are calling them gobshites and wankers."
Since last September, when he gave up being Ireland's most eligible batchelor and married Anita Farrell, a Dublin banker, there has been an extra dimension to his life. He would like to have children but would prefer they did not end up in the airline business. "I would like them to play centre forward for Manchester City so they could realise my unfulfilled dreams.

Then when he turns up, charge him to use the turnstiles. "Sorry sir - the ticket allows you entrance to the ground but you have to pay extra to actually enter it".
When he's in the ground, then they should charge him another £30 to get a seat then delay the kick off by half-an-hour (or better still cancel it altogether). Then they should charge him for the seat for the second half as well. Plus £5 booking fee.
OR he could just pay for what he uses instead of getting other fans to pay more for services that they don't use.
Ryan air is a busness and people have freedom of choice. If you want to pay more on a BA flight for food and drinks then that is also a choice.
My experiences of Ryan air are great for Lads trips but I wont take the wife on one of there flights.
I travelled to Dublin early on this year for £8 return......I chose to not eat for 40 minutes on the flight (what a hardship), .....I chose to take hand luggage only as that was I needed for a night out in Dublin......I chose to book on-line and check-in on-line as its bloody quicker when I get to the airport.
Oh and by the way Oleary is only an employee of Ryan Air. He does not own the Airline (but has about 4% share).

How come his planes are done out in a dark version of EFC colours, then. He ought to get the paintbrush out and show his true colours. AND he has named his kids after Matt Busby and Luke Chadwick!
it wasnt always his airline so he kept the colours
matt busby played for city
no one would name their kid after luke chadwick
and he said he would like his sons to play up front for city

O'Leary's a bit of a hero. He revolutionised air travel. It may not be nice or customer friendly but its kind on the bank balance so thats the main thing. Quite like the fact O'Leary's so bullish, he doesn't care if people like him he gets the job done. I did hear he only started supporting City because everyone else he knew growing up was a rag. Kind of sums up his personality!
