What this "incident"(?),and the subsequent arrangements (or lack of) for crew and pax brings to the forefront is the hopelessly inadequate Ops structure which "tight control of costs" prevents being adequately expanded to match Ryanairs explosive growth over the last few years.If those of you outside RYR knew how many people were ( or more pertinetly were not? ) employed in Ops/ Crewing I imagine you would think it was some sort of sick joke.It is deeply offensive that the spineless crustaceans charged with regulating it ,need pressure from the CAA and the Press before they sit up and take notice,without that ,this would have been swept under the carpet.Most of the other problems documented here, such as pilots out of check etc, stem from the same inadequacies. Sure, RYR are at this moment trying to fix it ,but it appears to be too little/too late, and they are in a hopeless game of catch-up. Situations normal for us here unfortunately.
