The cost of fuel is fixed,
er, no it’s not.
Airlines pay pay a variable rate for fuel subject to both fuel and currency hedging, but to get back on subject...
Manpower in any large company is sourced as cheaply as the market will allow, I think RYR see this as good business practice.
Good employee relations in RYR are surely what the BRCC and the pilots want most of all, but strike action won’t make this happen and I worry that downsizing or closing bases won’t only affect pilots, but Cabin Crew, Engineers and Handling staff will lose their jobs too.
proceed with caution...
