Lets hope this doesn't happen but we all know Ryanair will be there to 'win'
A month is too short as can argue that this occurs in Wintertime on many bases, a year is a lot easier to justify at end of a full year while some would still want to go to court many would already want to move on. Leaving it as an all or nothing option means everybody is constrained by ones who want to continue fighting.
Shutting base completely is a perfectly valid option and exiting flying in there is a perfectly valid option as there are numerous cases where this has happened previously. Thes can be classified as business decisions.
I guess people need to think how reference would look assumming reference is "X employed from Y to Z at ABC base", an employer seeing Marc employed by Ryanair from Jan 2016 to Jan 2021 based at Eindhoven knowing he has not flown regularly for 2 years and part of a big dispute may just decide to go onto next CV.
Martyrs get lots of rhetoric in support but that doesn't make up for end of career.
