@ph-sbe: dont forget that this particular case is already a “bodemprocedure”, based on the provisional ruling of last november. On top of that comes the decision of the UWV that Ryanair has no right at all to fire them. Of course Ryanair would like to keep them “employed”. That is cheaper for them.
I have a gut feeling that that is not going to happen.
We have to wait and see. I expect an expensive ruling for Ryanair.
Ruling is one thing but final judgement is another after appeals. If any pilot becomes employed assumming court rules in their favour then Ryanair can claim they lost nothing.
Old rule is negotiate before going to court if you can negotiate it avoids the lawyers costs and a desire to leave it in court for years and I would fully expect appeals to go down that route.
