  O'Leary hasn't been the CEO of Ryanair for some time though he is a leader and can represent the company, this is a tad pedantic but worth pointing out. It's been Eddie Wilson since. Michael says a lot of things that get him news coverage of Ryanair. He does have a track recording of going against the zeitgeist to profit e.g. he bought a lot of planes after 9/11 knowing that air traffic would bounce back while planes were cheap to purchase. That said; he's also urged Boeing to take the safety issues more seriously as well: https://news.sky.com/story/boeing-safety-ryanair-rues-minor-issues-with-new-boeing-aircraft-13045961 https://news.sky.com/story/boeing-safety-ryanair-rues-minor-... So I wouldn't see this as an endorsement that Boeing are 100% okay and this is all media spin. There are issues at Boeing and they need to be addressed -- according to the industries big supporters of Boeing.
