The Little Book of Mick

E-mail Print

The Little Book of MickMichael O’Leary, the retiring Chief Executive of Europe’s largest low fares airline Ryanair, speaks his mind. The European Commission are ‘communists’, airport operators are ‘overcharging rapists’, British Airways are ‘expensive bastards’, environmentalists are ‘eco-nut bags’ and travel agents are ‘fuckers’. ‘Do we carry rich people on our flights? Yes, I flew on one this morning and I’m very rich.’

Paul Kilduff, author of the bestselling Ruinair, has gathered O’Leary’s choicest utterances. Prepare to be informed, possibly offended — but most certainly amused.
