Never lets us down
Ah Capt. Leo, for once you are correct.
The quote you make is entirely relevant!
This quite nicely points at what is also relevant about the court case: not the fact that FR were unable to get the disclosure of identities but the fact that senior management personnel have been found to get up on the stand in a court of law and give false evidence in an attempt to perpetuate FR myths whilst attempting to "break the resolve" of FR pilots - in order to maintain what "little brief authority" they have.
The judge in the case also points out the "perfectly reasonable terms and conditions" which we had another debate on some time ago bear "all the hallmarks of oppression." What an extraordinary difference in opinion!
So now we have determined that FR management cannot be trusted and it has been shown that the "most cossetted group of employees" are being bullied "by Ryanair itself," where do your beloved management stand now, Leo?
Why shouldn't your colleagues be allowed to seek to change the "most onerous" conditions they find themselves in? It could be you next, being the ordinary line pilot that you are!
