Nice to hear a CEO answer questions directly and with straightforward candour

[Dutchbird]

Absolutely love the quick banter. He knows his facts and is not afraid to speak out.

[marklewins]

Michael o'Leary has always been and remains a great breath if fresh air in business. Period. He's honest and open and knows his business and industry to an exemplary level.

I'll keep flying Ryanair. Never had a bad flight, never had a bad crew, never been more than 30mins late departing (never late arriving). And you get more leg room than any other 3+3 narrowbody carrier in the UK.

[devanman]

Man this guy is sharp. Honestly don't get the hate Ryanair gets. They're about a quarter the price of the competition for basically the same thing.

I remember that these presenters couldn’t understand why Ireland didn’t use the British pound and didn’t seem to know it was a separate country😆

[OladipupoAdaraloye]

This guy is interesting & fun 😂😂😂 he's very direct & honest 😊

[davidlawton]

He’s a top man-there’s no doubt about his marketing skills and charisma.

Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly😊

[thomaswardlaw]

What a shame he's not our country. He is a man who won't tolerate BS.

I invested 4 weeks ago on a whim, and the shares are up 27% 👍🏼

Mr Michael you are my IDOL ! Thanks a lot for RYAN AIR which connect all of us with our families in europe ! because of you we can book 10 times per year easily. You made it so simple with those fares ! continue like that. 100% TOP Airline. All the others who complain they prefer to pay 200 EUR more to get 1 small birscuit and a bit more space. Who cares on 2 hour flights ? RYAN AIR 4 EVER

[grahamwaring]

Great guy pity he hasn't the time or inclination to sort our politicians out, am I right in the 60s an 70s the cost of a return ticket to Europe was an average week's wages or more ?

[bla]

Great on time flights all down to the hard work of the pilots ...reward them O Leary

[DjDj-wwrh]

Great man to run country. Have to question the emissions from cows and airlines flying more people

[DrPeterLorenzo]

"Fewer", not "less". TWICE.

[mkumarthephrophet]

Michael O’Leary - can you come to Canada?

[headbangingzizou]

"If it was free I wouldn't take a Russian aircraft" 😂😂😂

[Yeviscount]

Would love to see him debate Donald Trump. I think O'leary would eat him for breakfast.

[Robert-pqsb]

Why give out a dividend and not use that money to grow the business?

[barryryan]

That loyalty question was embarrassing. Like a school kid got to ask a question to the big businessman
