On: Ryanair tries forcing app downloads by eliminating paper boarding passes

Should not be allowed. Lots of elderly people use Ryanair and they're often not great with apps. O'Leary calling them stupid is no addition.

I use Ryanair and the app is decent but it should not be mandatory to fly

The elderly had more than a decade to learn how to use a phone.

The discerning should also have the choice not to be forced into the app economy and all the crap that comes with it.
