Much as I hate Ryanair, they have never had a serious accident in their entire history, and they have a LOT of planes...

Charlie: Ray, all airlines have crashed at one time or another, that doesn't mean that they are not safe. Raymond: Qantas. Qantas never crashed. Charlie: Qantas? Raymond: Never crashed. Charlie: Oh that's gonna do me a lot of good because Qantas doesn't fly to Los Angeles out of Cincinnati, you have to get to Melbourne! Melbourne, Australia in order to get the plane that flies to Los Angeles! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095953/quotes http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095953/quotes

Ryanair does not only have dark patterns on its website, but also within the company. Two months ago there was a program on Dutch TV where a couple of Ryanair pilots anonymously stated that Ryanair flies with dangerously low fuel to keep costs down. Here is the video with english subtitles: http://reporter.kro.nl/seizoenen/2012/afleveringen/28-12-2012/extras/mayday_mayday_-_international_version http://reporter.kro.nl/seizoenen/2012/afleveringen/28-12-201... While this hasn't lead to an accident yet, it has lead to several mayday calls when planes had to fly to another airport due to weather conditions or had to wait in the air because the airport was busy. The airport had to let Ryanair land before its turn. If the other firms that had aircraft landing at the airport had been flying with similarly low fuel it would have been a crash. and part 2: http://reporter.kro.nl/seizoenen/2013/afleveringen/03-01-2013/extras/mayday_mayday_part_2_-_english_version http://reporter.kro.nl/seizoenen/2013/afleveringen/03-01-201... This part is partially about the fuel issue but also about other issues, such as pilots being pressured to fly while ill or very tired.
