I think You will find that RYR has hardly payed a cent to anyone.
Rebooking and small sums, hassel and a lot of smoke, add some time and : Voila bygones.
With regards to taking Unions to court. NEVER.
First we would fight that to any high court . Second RYR would cease to exist long before that due lack of pilots.
And Mr Alpine, a strike is ALWAYS inside the control of any airline.
Most certainly this one.
