Anyone note the striking similarities between the style of prose in MOL's letters to the C4 producers and Leo Hairy Camels posts on this website?
Also, very noticeable is the Ryanair management philosophy that if you repeat a mistruth often enough the great unwashed public will start to believe it is true. It is so obvious to us in the business that by his repeated claims of pilots only flying to the maximum of 100 hours in 28 days equates to only 25 hours a week is designed to put across the impression that Ryanair pilots are mollycoddled and hardly work at all. It surely is a double edged sword in that he would like the public to believe that pilots hardly work at all but at the same time he insults his pilot workforce by trying to make out that they are underworked, lazy and inefficient.
Also, in the letters published is one comparing "average salaries" between Ryanair, easyJet, BA and Lufthansa. Anyone notice the blatant untruths in that one? In very small print at the bottom it mentions "excluding social, welfare and pension". Well, considering that Ryanairs pay is it and they don't include any "social, welfare or pension", they are obviously lying blatantly in their claims of being the best paying airline. Also, by claiming an "average" salary the figures mean nothing without knowing the range of numbers between the highest and the lowest, never mind how many of each.
The blatant audacity to claim that the cabin crew have to pay for the duration of their employment for their uniforms at £25 a month is just one more example of the thieving bar stewards utterly contemptible attitude towards their employees. I mean, c'mon, are you claiming that your cabin crew go through £300 worth of uniform a year? Only slime like Leo and his ilk could admit that they increase their companies profitability by hacking away at their employees benefits and wages.
So, whilst C4 and Dispatches are no friends of airline pilots, we do see here an attempt to put one over on Leo Hairy Camel and his miserable band of bullies. It is time that the public got to see a bit of what has been exposed on here for years, that Ryanair are one of the most profitable airlines because in reality they are one of the lowest paying airlines when you add up all the benefits and allowances when comparing them to any other airline. There is a management culture that relies on bullying, insults and threats that all cause financial pain to the employee should they so much as question some of their practices.
