Ryanair waiting for line training

Ryanair pilot bulletin board

Hi All,

Thanks for the interesting responses. I do understand that Ryan has a very different way of approaching business and generates a lot more in-house complaints than the older, more employee-freindly model of running airlines. We have this same phenomenon occurring in the U.S. now. I think that for the foreseeable future, we pilots are just going to have to throw away our memories of being pampered with vacation and sick leave, minimum pay guarantees, cushy rest requirements and the like; the new terms are stark by comparison.
But there was one thing that caught my eye: why is Ryan cancelling flights in early April, if that's when the clock is reset on pilot flight time for the year? Where did that info come from anyway?

Cheers, Jim

P.S. Unrelated to the previous discussion, I have a question: is there a good online bulletin board for Ryanair new-hires and contract pilots to post things like apartments to share near EMA, transportation, useful info and the like? I did contact REPA and am awaiting approval on that forum.
