Cpt B. I know that there is contractors pilots in RYR. And the main difference is that they don’t have base salary in comparasion with Irish contract pilots working in their network. All of pilots under Irish contract have base salary.
However in WIZZ all the contractors have base salary, that’s why in WIZZ most of the pilots fired of this 265 pilots has been CONFAIR. They don’t have to pay anything and they don’t have to deal with the jurisdiction of their countries. Around 142 out of 265 pilots fired has been CONFAIR contract (floating pilots or fix based). That’s why these pilots has been easy to fire first and then the rest with local contracts.
Varadi said several times “Cash is King”. Their priority is the Company and the liquity. And we have all to respect the management decitions. It is their company. And for the rest of people that still there they cannot complain. Nobody is pushing them, everybody decide about his life and if you think you are a slave, don’t work for them instead of complaining. Business is business for them, they left very clear this time.
In the other hand we have if it has been ethic or not to fire 20% of your employees having a liquity of 1.6B, aircraft orders and a new company AOC in Abu Dhabi... but that is another history. And again we all must respect their decition or strategy even if we are not balanced regarding ethic part. Every human is different, every human has been educated different, and every person has different values on life.
