He doesn't seem unhinged to me. He seems like he has a singular goal: lowest ticket prices, and he's willing to entertain crazy ideas in pursuit of that goal that nobody else would. It's a refreshingly honest take on their corporate strategy. What's wrong with that?
And to state the obvious, if as a traveler you don't share that goal of getting the absolute cheapest ticket at all costs, you shouldn't fly Ryanair. But he's doing a great job here selling to his target demographic.
- mthoms 4y ago>He seems like he has a singular goal: lowest ticket prices That's just a means to an end for his real singular goal: higher profits I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but his real singular goal is not "lowest ticket prices".
- ntoskrnl 4y agoWhile true, that's a bit reductionist. All companies want higher profits. What's interesting is how companies differ from each other while chasing that goal.
- doliveira 4y agoI want people in positions of power to be bland and boring, thank you very much. This whole thing of appealing to popularity amongst a particular subset of the population by being "unorthodox", "refreshingly sincere" and "blunt" is really just a ruse to amass a little bit of unchecked power.
