Bound to happen...and expect more to come. The continued rise in fuel prices will take its toll on the low cost model airline...and quite frankly I think this might be a golden opportunity, for airlines to pass from the weak to stronger hands. In addition, it will get rid of the marginal operator and also provide another rather favourable outcome...low cost tickets go away, the great un-washed masses (some of which haven't seen a bar of soap in the last three weeks)can't afford to fly, making it so much better for those who can...this is called, enhanced revenue generation.
The bottom line will smile once again...for the survivors.
For the rest? Down the tube. Goodbye.
Think I'm cold and heartless? Yep...however, these are the facts, like it or not. Oh...boo hoo.
Yes but am willing to bet that in 5 years from now Ryanair will still be going whereas others will have gone to the wall because their cost base is much higher than Ryanair's.
Can't be that bad, I know a guy who had an interview a couple of days ago and got a job, if this really was the case why would they be still giving interviews?

as i said, they make a profit from there FO's, so maybe recruiting lots of FO's is the rescue plan!
I don't know where you get your facts from but Ryanair is not gonna sack 600 pilots when they are opening bases all the time. don't you think that they will need pilots.
Maybe the other operators are gonna be doing this as they are making a loss but FR are not.
You lot are idiots and have nothing better to do then worry about what FR are doing you should be worrying about what ur operators are doing more than FR
People were asked to take unpaid leave last your as well, times are getting harder and if oil goes over $200 per barrel as predicted I thing things will get bad, but at the moment I think the prediction of 600 redundancies is a bit keen... I hope?
Absolute crap , whilst they may well be running an operating loss at the moment they will not be shedding 600 pilot jobs , they are still hiring a lot of pilots to fly the new metal , the sums just don't add up for this to be true .
