Seriously? For a start, the Ryanair Communications Manager (CM) you referred to the previous post would be RK and to my knowledge is not going anywhere.
Then the links you give refer to a "Community Manager" / "Social Media Manager, which is a different role.
And I really don't know of any company/organisation that manages to post a vacancy notice hours after they fire someone...
Let us review the reports here on that “Cheating Bastards” tweet from Ryanair:
1. It was posted here Saturday afternoon by sn26567. First phrase in that post: “The Communication Manager (CM) of Ryanair has been fired. Why? Just for a tweet during the FRA-GER game in the Euro 2016.”
2. You then replied last night with a very short “Do you have a source?”
3. I answered this question this morning: very neutral and very factual, only referring to a post on Airlive.net (see above).
Therefore, flymd11, if someone is to blame for the tweet, it's Ryanair. And is someone is to blame for the coverage, it's not me and it's not sn26267 because we (if I may speak for both) only post what aviation sites and news sites have posted a) about the tweet, and b) about the dismissal.
Ryanair delays start of Luxembourg-Stansted & Porto routes
Ryanair has delayed the start of its flights linking Luxembourg with Stansted and Porto to the end of October.
The low-cost airline initially announced that it would begin operating flights on the two new routes from September 1. The start was put back to October 30 because of operational delays related to the handling company.
It means that anyone who booked flights on the Luxembourg-Porto or Luxembourg-Stansted routes for travel between September 1 and October 29 will no longer be able to fly. Customers affected have been notified of the change by email.
They are eligible for a refund or may rebook their trip for after the start date. Refunds will be made within 21 days if no alternative flights are requested.
"Due to operational delays related to the handling company chosen, we, unfortunately must postpone the start of the Luxembourg flights to the end of October.”
Ryanair apologised for the inconvenience caused and said it "looked forward to start operating in Luxembourg this winter."

The above proves, once again, that Ryanair passengers have only two rights: sit down and shut up.
Ryanair gives the passengers with a confirmed booking two possibilities: a refund, or a rebooking for the same routing once Ryanair is operational at Luxemburg. European legislation states that passengers should be given the possibility to fly out of a nearby airport on the date of their initial booking. Example: passengers for a LUX-OPO-LUX on 5 Sept don't have to wait till 30 Oct to fly LUX-OPO-LUX: they are entitled for a flight CRL-OPO-CRL or BRU-OPO-BRU on that 5th Sept. Only condition for this rerouting is "availability of seats". Article 8.3. even states that Ryanair has to pay for the transport between LUX and CRL or BRU.
Article 8 - Right to reimbursement or re-routing
1. Where reference is made to this Article, passengers shall be offered the choice between:
(a) - reimbursement within seven days, by the means provided for in Article 7(3), of the full cost of the ticket at the price at which it was bought, for the part or parts of the journey not made, and for the part or parts already made if the flight is no longer serving any purpose in relation to the passenger's original travel plan, together with, when relevant,
- a return flight to the first point of departure, at the earliest opportunity;
(b) re-routing, under comparable transport conditions, to their final destination at the earliest opportunity; or
(c) re-routing, under comparable transport conditions, to their final destination at a later date at the passenger's convenience, subject to availability of seats.
2. Paragraph 1(a) shall also apply to passengers whose flights form part of a package, except for the right to reimbursement where such right arises under Directive 90/314/EEC.
3. When, in the case where a town, city or region is served by several airports, an operating air carrier offers a passenger a flight to an airport alternative to that for which the booking was made, the operating air carrier shall bear the cost of transferring the passenger from that alternative airport either to that for which the booking was made, or to another close-by destination agreed with the passenger.
Ryanair could snap up more B737s if additional slots became available in 2017 or 2018, says CEO Michael O’Leary. Talks with Boeing are continuing over exercising options for 100 more MAX 200s, although a final decision doesn’t need to be taken until 2018.

Talking about that, I may be wrong, but I have the impression that Ryanair doesn't do that much "ski routes" even thought they're supposed to find more winter routes.
Any reason why they don't do more, or to more destinations ?
Especially in Switzerland where they do not operate at all. Could they land in Sion (SIR) for example ?
Why did Michael O'Leary campaign so much against Brexit?
Consider this: the shareholders of Ryanair are at 41.7% American and 20% British. If Britain leaves the EU, a majority of shareholders are out of the EU, thus Ryanair would theoretically not be allowed to operate flights within the EU. Of course, the UK might try to find an arrangement like Norway in order to be allowed to operate intra-EU flights, but there is no guarantee that it will happen...
The analysis (in French) in La Libre Belgique is interesting:
Ryanair resumed talks with Aer Lingus with regard to providing potential feeder services for the latter's long-haul flights. Talks are also progressing with Norwegian and several long-haul carriers as well.
