The memo also stated "3000 job losses and/or pay cuts", cannot understand why you would include and/or, is this a provocation from Ryanair to get a reaction from UK or Irish government to give them some form of financial support by cutting airport taxes
Would not be surprised if MOL manages to get another large order in for Max aircraft at lower prices when Boeing are on their knees
But they did. Myself and everyone in both Ryanair and sister airlines have been let go (varies at what stage of training you were in but assume anyone that haven't completed the line check) with training fees + bonds completely written off, could be a gesture of goodwill but also saving themselves from the legal hassle of not offering work as there is none available (one of the clauses of the bond agreement).
I completed my base training 10 days before the airline let us go. Walking away with a free type rating doesn't sound so nice when all you have is 1hr in the RHS and 6 touch and goes.
Regarding your last point that's more wishful thinking than I'd be comfortable sharing at the moment.
