Further evidence of Ryanair's union bashing stance from yesterday's edition of Ireland's Business World:
"Ryanair pays staff 3pc, not pilots

(BizWorld)
Irish low-cost airline, Ryanair, today said it had paid a 3pc increase to all staff who had negotiated directly with the company but not pilots.
The carrier is currently embroiled in a dispute with pilots with one pilot attempting to have the airline's chief executive, Michael O'Leary jailed for alleged contempt of court.
Last week, leave was given by Justice Barry White yesterday to lawyers for pilot John Goss to bring an application tomorrow for the attachment and committal of O'Leary, Ryanair director of flight and ground operations, David O'Brien and the airline's chief pilot, Ray Conway.
Today, Ryanair said the door was still open for the pilots to forego union representation and negotiate directly with management."
