If you do anything to defam or injur the company that employs you - it is not only an insult but is a violation against your contract. This is gross misconduct and dismissable without notice. They have the right and were totally correct to do this.
People need to grow up - they do not force you to work there - if you don’t like it - go elsewhere or simply don’t apply.
Could not agree more.
Depends if it was deception ... and since the person who posted the image was not one of the crew who was fired, then it's going to be interesting if they sue for unfair dismissal ..
The CCTV cameras clearly show them setting up the photo, by lying down in unison, taking the photo, and then getting up and walking away, watch the video. A deliberate and premeditated act designed to sabotage the reputation of the company, and you think they can sue for unfair dismissal ? They have probably caused themselfs irreparable damage because what airline is going to employ them after pulling a stunt like that to another airline ? Would you employ them if you were another airline ? No airline on this planet would have let them get away with doing that. As someone above has said, totally unprofessional. If some people so dislike working for Ryanair, and with so much constant publicity, then why do people apply to work there ?
