I was seriously not up to date about RYR coming back. The fact they did and pay social security contributions with fully contracted pilots shows there was no malicious intent, just greed. And the same made them come back after the theatrical exit was staged. Money talks - no, money walks.
Speaking of uni(c)o(r)ns above, without full explanation for brevity, this mythical pan-European thing is what I had in mind. Or even single-country WZZ thing.
The SNPL involvement excatly fits the puzzle the way I see it. Not to mention that SNPL was not RYR pilot's union and most definitely not a cross-border union. What was possible was done, shaping the landscape where the rouge operated. The solution exists, political pressure using the tools already at hand. Proudly and responsibly, protecting their home turf.
You actually made my day.
I still hold it true that RYR ejected for the newly enforced obligation to pay into social security system in France. If that's union work, even better.
