    If your readers don’t accept this policy, then they should please feel free to fly with other airlines, who may operate a more lax minors travel policy.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryanair

    The company has at times been criticised for its…tendency to intentionally generate controversy in order to gain publicity.[31][32][33]

    “Let’s be honest,” the RyanAir spokesman continued. “If your readers aren’t willing to even fly with their children, can it really be said that they even love them?”

      The last part of service section regarding the Afrikaans language test is wild. The sales flow is sacred and I cannot believe such a huge stupid blocker would get green lit into product.

          And where is their stock now?

          I suppose it would be better to ask how long that lasted.

              That’s exactly what the phrase means. I can guarantee you that smart traders made a good chunk off the dip.

            Once everyone forgot about it, I’m sure it went back to normal.

            But it certainly did them no favours. The David Dao incident is another example of there definitely being bad publicity.
