"Cheap flights" 🤣
So here’s the Ryanair arithmetic. Gate employee catches out 62 passengers for €1.30 bonus for each to earn max $80 a month. Ryanair makes 62x(€75-€1.30) = €4569 profit (before other staff costs) every month per gate employee. 45% of its revenue comes from fining customers.
Ryanair admits it pays bonuses to gate staff who enforce its designed-to-be-difficult bag size rules bit.ly/4eX0P81 earn €1.30 to cost a passenger €75. It must take a special type of customer service dedication to do that!

Hearing some of the versions of Bach organ works compared to reinstrumentations, I wonder if the sound in his head when he composed the works was the same as he heard played in his lifetime.

Fascinating (to me!) investigation showing how a historical term can have perfectly good antecedents can become pseudo-fact through the on rush of enthusiastic amateurs.

there is no columnist I've admired more than Melanie Reid, because she took a world whose horizons had necessarily shrunk (at times to the dimensions of a hospital bed) & found something new & interesting in it to say every week. An incredible feat of writing www.thetimes.com/life-style/h...
