Oh, I don't know, atse, incitement to criminal activity and dereliction of duty may very well be construed as freedom of speech of sorts, don't you think? It will be interesting to learn the courts view. Intentionally wasting fuel, provoking artificial delays to the production, calling in sick enmasse? If that’s the best that REPA, the stillborn baby of IALPA/BALPA, can come up with, its little wonder that their 200 predominantly deaf/mute members are jumping ship faster than rats off the Lusitania.

Since the free ride ends on April 18th and pilots will have to shell out their own hard earned cash to fund REPA's inept fumbling, I don't suppose they'll be around for much longer. The rate of departure might even be quickened when the supposedly anonymous 'codenames' are ordered revealed.

The penny must surely drop soon, folks. Union representation is seen by the vast majority of professional pilots at Ryanair for what it is, a pernicious, devious organisation of the shadows. It claims to speak with one voice, by means of rancour and intimidation, but in truth represents only their own interest in seeing Ryanair fail or become profoundly shackled in order to preserve and protect the luxurious privileged position of their 'A' list membership at Aer Lingus and BA. Organisations who, by virtue of our success, are feeling increasingly threatened by the ever stronger results of Ryanair in the marketplace.
