I wish to extend my support and sympathies to the 5 that are being maltreated.
Are IALPA (Ryanair Local Group at least) considering an all out strike? Ryanair will continue to treat their pilots in this fashion, unless the management are given a clear message that this treatment is totally unacceptable. I hope that senior members of the pilots get deeply involved with this, and it doesn't end up being a case of 'i'm alright jack'
For the members of the 'Pilot Group' you may be interested to know that during a meeting of another (now defunct) company . Two members of your management team where present recruiting direct entry Captains for the CRL base. It was made apparent that the 'pilot agreement' was just to keep the 'boys' happy, and does not apply to the likes of FR management.
If you join FR at least you know of their reputation and what to expect.
Again to the 5 in the middle my sympathies, and I hope those around you pull together to sort out this injustice.
