Ryanair attacks bloggers. Fight Fight Fight!
Ryanair - as I’ve mentioned before - doesn’t like the internet.
Which is odd considering they rely on it almost entirely for their business. Last time we looked, they were attacking third party websites who were scraping Ryanair content and sending business their way. Now it’s the bloggers they’re after.
Blogger Jason Roe made the mistake of suggesting their might be a hole in the Ryanair booking process - meaning people were getting free rides. Instead of a ‘thanks for pointing it out’ Ryanair staff attacked Roe in his blog comments.
When asked to comment, Ryanair’s official response was:
Ryanair can confirm that a Ryanair staff member did engage in a blog discussion. It is Ryanair policy not to waste time and energy corresponding with idiot bloggers and Ryanair can confirm that it won’t be happening again.
“Lunatic bloggers can have the blog sphere all to themselves as our people are far too busy driving down the cost of air travel.”
You go Ryanair! The boycotts begin.
