If you work in the leisure industry, which is where Ryanair, and BA to a lesser extent, sit fair and square, you don't get holidays when the customers have them. Get over it, or work in another industry, eg hauling freight.
Striking is a last resort to get your way regardless of the merits of your grievances, especially when those merits are pretty much invisible. Pious expressions of sorrow about the consequent suffering of the victims of strikes (aka customers who pay your salaries) are just nauseating. Strike if you must in a peak holiday period, so as to maximise the suffering of those customers as a bargaining tool, but spare us the crap about how you just hate doing it.
Quite, and enough of the'humane' BS as well. The sole aim here is explicitly to cause maximum disruption to the public to achieve your goals (or not). Suggest putting on your uniforms and soliciting opinion in a departure hall full of people who's flights and once a year holidays you have just ruined, I suspect you will then understand what inhumane treatment is like.
The airline industry, so out of touch with almost everything, it seems, it's astounding.
