OSCAR YANKEE Ryanair are going to change the roster to 5/4. They claimed yesterday that this is in response to pilot demand. They want pilots to believe that it is to suit the pilots and has nothing to do with their chaotic rostering and leave allocation systems. Few pilot believe that!
Oh.... and there were a few "small" items that made most of the pilots present very uneasy (this is Ryanair after all!!). Things like losing a couple of weeks annual leave and not being guaranteed that the 5/4 would not become 5/3, etc. etc. The bottom line is that if you plan leave based on 5/4 but end up on 5/3 the problem will be Ryanair's, not yours!
Be careful with these people, be VERY careful.
