I say it is pointless not to be antagonistic, but because you draw conclusions for your opinion that are not backed up with any fact... Just an anecdotal report of "fast" landings. If the aircraft is full, using the full runway is not unusual... And the pilots may well choose not to brake heavily precisely because they know they have plenty of runway. There is simply nothing in your post that substantiates your opinion that this could pose a safety risk.

I dislike the dishonesty and hypocrisy of O'Leary and his management team, but that doesn't make them unsafe. O'Leary himself recognises that given the culture of Ryanair and their reputation, even one fatal accident ( which they have never had) could do serious damage to their brand. I just don't think subjective opinions about fast landings are of much value without some facts to back them up.

Incidently, your profile name is very similar to one allegedly used by O'Leary in the Pprune forums, so perhaps there is more to your post than meets the eye.
