The boss of Ryanair has threatened to cancel orders with American aircraft maker Boeing and buy from Chinese manufacturers instead if Donald Trump’s trade tariffs push up costs.

Good. Maybe Trump really is playing 3D chess.

He’s actively harming America so Americans are forced to work harder in order to compete with nations that give better deals.

warned against placing orders with Comac, arguing that it had close ties to the Chinese military and had likely benefited from intellectual property theft.

Just like Boeing then…
It always boils down to “B-But we are the good guys so buying from our military contractors is no an issue at all”

When Michael O’Leary has a chance to save money, he definitely doesn’t give a fuck about your military industrial complex and its intellectual property.

Fun fact: he supposedly turned down the chance to host The Apprentice, because he’s actually capable of running a business instead.

So, money is the straw that broke the camel’s back. Not Boeing being unsafe and you being concerned for your crew and customers.

It’s in obvious that you have never flown Ryanair. They make it very clear at every point of the journey that they have zero regard for their customers and crew. It’s an antagonistic relationship from beginning to end.

This is coming from the CEO who pitched “vertical seating” after all.

I’d never buy a Boeing plane again after they said “some of our planes will crash and kill everyone on board, but that’s cheaper than making them safer”.

That’s why you’re not a CEO.

You see lives as more than a cost/benefit analysis.

Then they should be sentenced to death as the mass murderers they are. And no value would be lost as they’re despicable pieces of shit.
