There are two current stories in the news about the airline-I-love-to-hate, Ryanair. This may seem more personal than a news item warrants, but I vowed years ago to never fly Ryanair, at the time because of statements by it's CEO, that Trumpian character, Michael O'Leary.
Recently the airline announced it's intention to submit a takeover bid for the bankrupt Italian carrier, Alitalia. Then yesterday it was disclosed by Ryanair that it intends to cancel 2000 flights of its own from its fall schedule, apparently to right mismanagement of staff scheduling and related slips in on-time service. A number of news sources are now discussing the airline's unfitness to acquire Alitalia. I'll be watching with interest.
