I work in East Midlands for Ryanair about 4 days a month so I feel I can clarify this. LJ is an assistant training planner who is leaving for personal reasons. There are four other very competent people in that office to takeover the work. Also I have heard that PB is putting a body from Dublin temporarily in to NEMA until they fill the vacancy.
There was Base Training last weeek where 24 people were trained - none of which had been waiting more than 1 week. They all get their licences and start line training this week.
Other parts of Ryanair may be chaotic but training has changed rapidly since PB arrived. There are more than 60 new line training Captains since April, the SIMS are packed daily seven days a week, all staff have their own phone nos and email and everyone has to be polite and answer queries quickly.
How long this will last none of us is sure. The trainers believe that if PB is leaving then it will return to the same old mess. Who knows. But things have changed.
