This is why other airlines have unions and collective contracts in place. There has to be a balance between supply and demand and job security and common decency. Ryanair is not a failing company. They’ll be hitting record profits from next year and onwards until the next major crisis but their crew will be taking a 5 year paycut in the meantime. This is blackmail and extortion tactics which has to be stopped or there’ll be nothing left to fight for. Even throughout the good years Ryanair didn’t increase terms and conditions for their experienced crew and they will not do it when things pick back up.
