safety standards at the no-frills airlines...

hi there
I'm a jounalist in the BBC's Investigations Unit, which produces documentaries for Radio 4, 5 Live, World Service etc
I'm intrigued by the Ryanair story in today's Times of London, namely pilots are being threatened with disciplinary action, and that the Irish Pilots Assoc claim crews are under too much pressure to meet turnaround times etc etc
I'm wondering: is this the case? are corners being cut when it comes to standards?
If you could get in touch with me, anonymously if you like, I'd be very interested in talking to you, or colleagues with relevant knowledge.
Of course, any contribution would be given in strictest confidence: we have a proven track record of protecting our sources and would never disclose them.
