how this deal (preferably from somebody that voted in favour) was
accepted in 5 bases out of 16??!!
Well, was it really? LTN was only voting for the pension money and allowances, they are already locked in to a 5 year deal. Sim on days off, 14 days Annual Leave, you know, that deal.

So bit of propoganda work for Ryanair to include LTN.

So that really leaves 4 out of 16:

EMA: Probably because they have a lot of Line Trainers and SFIs earning decent money which negates any loss of earnings they would have suffered if they were not in a training role, and innocent naive S/Os who were probably out numbered by the above.

CIA Some very, very "unusual" behaviour by a management figure there. I don't want to get the owners of this site in trouble so I will leave it at that. Don't be suprised if there is legal action at some point.

ORK 6 sector days the norm in cork, they Pilots probably wanted 5/4 to make it to retirement. Selfish Captains towards the end of their career who wanted more time off, not concerned about taking the money from S/Os and F/Os

PSA Similar situation to CIA.

Factor in a bit of interference in the balloting, e.g. closing polling stations before the advertised times, making promised proxy voting difficult to impossible and the result is not a surprise.

All the other bases saw this deal for what it was. Very attractive headline figures, but when held up to the light a sizeable paycut for S/O and F/O ranks with a few tidbits for Captains which would be completely swallowed up by inflation over the period of the deal.

Real Ryanair Pilots know all this, because they read it on www.repaweb.org
