Bacardi walla
getting another job is not the solution, fighting the case is the best way, and this sets a precident.
Ryanair have, if i have all the facts correct, said that if you decide not to fly because in your opinion that you are too tired, we can demote you. This means that we are now putting undue pressure on you which will compromise safety.
I would think that the pilot in question would have a very sound case to take to the courts.
I would also say that if the company had an effective union this would definately have led to a stoppage.
The management have got to start appreciating that the safety record of the company could be compromised by such intimidation.
If someone in management is reading this then take the time to listen to your pilots.
