'WAL-MART WITH WINGS'

摘要

YANAIR HOLDINGS PLC CEO Michael O'Leary I makes no apologies for his penny-pinching. Want to check luggage? You'll pay up to 9.50 dollars per bag for the privilege. Free drinks and snacks? Forget about it. Even a bottle of water will set you back 3.40 dollars. It's not just passengers who have to cough it up. Flight crew buy their own uniforms, and staff at Ryanair's spartan Dublin Airport headquarters must supply their own pens. After a customer sued Ryanair for charging 34 dollars for the use of a wheelchair, the company added a 63 dollars "wheelchair levy" to every ticket. Says O'Leary: "You want luxury? Go somewhere else."
