Up up And Away!

category international | sci-tech | other press author Tuesday January 18, 2005 14:20author by o as if Report this post to the editors

I still prefer airships, they pollute less.

Airbus has flown from Toulouse in France to Leonardo da Vinci in Rome

and updates on Ryanair's latest ruffianism.

lots of people were invited to have a look, at the biggest bestest tippy toppiest airplane ever ever which was intended solely for passengers.

Messrs Blair, Chirac, Shroeder and Zapatero clapped their handies in glee.

For those of with more down to earth tastes -
Ryanair will start flying to Santiago Galicia on April 11.

The Irish based company still however is attracting flak, keen readers will remember that we had a go at them over charging for wheelchairs, which they finally settled.


Before launching the last route to Reus, the company fired two workers for the dubious reasons of being trade union acitivists. Normal middle of the road trade union types, in the old "everybody out" mould.


Accordingly the middle of the road UGT union in Spain has called "everybody out" the strike amongst bagage handlers begins in February.

And they also calling for the ending of public money support to the budget airline giant, whose website boasts the motto of Superman (the late Christopher Reeves version and not the Nietschean one - żAre they dis-similar?) "up up and away".

Will the "unacceptable face of capitalism" (a technical expression suprisingly used by a FF minister to describe the ryanair shenigangs) carry on with the cheekyness and shoddy treatment of workers?

If you're not a keen reader you can put "ryanair" through the search engine (wth comments on) of both ireland and uk indymedia.

up up and away indeed.
you don't buy us off with offers of a 3eu ticket to dublin.
