Talking of “obvious hatred” the Ryanair management have an entirely irrational hatred of Aer Lingus. I recall a winter storm a few years back where the weather around the British Isles was appalling, and the Chief pilot issued an internal memo congratulating pilots for managing to get in and out of Dublin safely and noting “a small Dublin based Airbus operator” were unable to do likewise.
Given the only audience for communications like that was Ryanair pilots, most of whom don’t give a monkeys about some golf club pissing contest, it displays the madness that comes over FR management whenever EI are involved.
Anyone who has followed the history of Ryanair management over the years will be unsurprised by their efforts to prevent any kind of meaningful negotiations with the unions. If you have had any personal interactions with Eddie Wilson (the man who flew all the way to Copenhagen solely to tell the Danish Unions to **** off then fly home) will know that Ryanair have no intention of building any form of honest relationship with their employees.
