RyanAir procedures

EHM-0654 Murray:
If anyone works for RyanAir, or has friends/relatives that do, I have a really simple procedural question I'd like answering (and no, I haven't tried Google yet, that'll come once I finish this post). Why do they insist on the window blinds being open for take-off and landing?

xzornixz:
Scandinavian does the same, their reason being the ability for the flight attendant to see outside in case of fire during taxi, takeoff and landing :)

EHM-2387 Eric-Jan:
Punched the question through to one of my flying buddies, who has recently joined the Ryanair staff as F.O.
I expect xzornixz is right, but I'll let you know the response when it comes.

EHM-2097 Andrei:
This may be less uncommon than it sems, our national carrier Tarom always did so as well

EHM-1465 Dominic:
There have certainly been cases in the past when it made a huge difference to the outcome of an accident whether the flight crew knew about a fire and indeed what side of the aircraft it was on to turn accordingly if they stopped on the ground so I'd guess it's a rule that grew from those incidents ;)
