ROSTER - 5 on 4 off:
1. 5 on 4 off - fixed between 1st April and 31st December.
2. 5 on 3 off - may be rostered four times between 1st January and 31st March.
3. The roster pattern is achieved through the granting of 14 additional days off and pre-allocation of 12 annual leave days.
PRODUCTIVITY
1. Should the flying profile of a base change as to render the agreement demonstrably less productive then the roster pattern may revert to 5 on 3 off with 5 on 2 off six times per annum.
2. If individual productivity is demonstrably affected in any quarter, this may be recovered on an individual basis in the following quarter by reversion to 5 on 3 off.
3. Command and other non-recurrent training will be rostered on the basis of 5 on 2 off.
If Ryanair is forced to recognise any pilot trade union or association, or if there is any industrial action of any kind, then the roster will revert to 5 on 3 off with 5 on 2 off six times per annum.
The agreement is not as simple as just 5 on 4 off...
