Make no mistake that Ryanair will NEVER conform to it's legal tax liabilities, that is whole reason that the company is still in business. Using a pilot workforce number of 3000, crunch the numbers and you'll quickly see that FR would be loss making if it contributed legally as all the others do. Net result is that the workforce is responsible for FR's profits and that's not fiction, think about it!

So what does this mean for the future? Well, judging by past senior management behaviour they would pfefer to shut the airline down rather than pay taxes and start losing millions each quarter. MOL would never be happy in treating his staff as normal working people with basic human rights. I'm sure that he would prefer to get his team of Dublin tinker men in to cut up the aircraft and 'weigh them in', and that would be a cash deal too

IMHO - The future is bleak as all the FR senior management have milked the company and are multi millionaires. Ask yourself this -- Are they loyal to staff, are they loyal to the airport authorities, are they loyal to anyone you know except each other? The simple answer is NO, which means at then end of the day they will not be loyal to their bosses, the shareholders. Windng it down for spiteful reasons is a very realsitic future outcome.
