Ryanair= best roster in the industry, always home at night
Despite if this statement of opinion is true or not? I would like to ask you two questions.
1. Does anything you say permit or merit management treating it pilots with distain or like horse manure??
After management have just finished the recent Ryanair UK Based Pilots Experience Reaction tour. Also known as
"RUBPER" up because if you don't do what we say we will threaten your livelihood.
2. Does this merit Cabin Crew given temporary contracts then laid off for no reason in their 11th month? After spending thousands of pounds of their own money for training then in their 11 month of employment with Ryanair through some poxy contract agency told "Goodbye". In many people’s opinion, the only reason for this is to make way for someone who will do it cheaper with £3000 in there back pocket to pay for training again. Is that ethically and morally right?
Seems to me that people have to put the coffee on and face up to the realities of life in RYR and how it is damaging our profession and the rest of the industry.
A message to the standard RYR bashers out there. Trying to preach to RYR pilots that you get what you deserve does nobody any help and serves injustice to the many hard working and Stella staff that work with the company in whatever capacity or whatever contract.
It also does a serious injustice to yourselves because unless you can talk to colleagues in RYR to wake up and make the right decision in the BALPA UK campaign for recognition, this type of thing is coming your way. Either support RYR pilots to do the right option for their and your long term careers or your own companies are not going to be able to compete with RYR in the future because of it's lower cost base and staff costs and will have to evolve; as in go bust, merge or bring the RYR policies to your company. Ryanair and its management practices is as much your problem as it is Ryanair pilots and employees themselves.
One thing nobody can doubt is Ryanair's ability to adapt and lead the industry in cutting costs in whatever form. What most Ryanair pilots can not tolerate is that cost being our dignity and respect.
