If that idiot O'leary decided to go on strike today, what would happen tomorrow?? ....Nothing, absolutely nothing! The Company would still function normally and no disruption would occur. Therefore, his contribution to the daily operations of Ryan Air IMO is meaningless.
If Ryan Air Pilots were brave enough to go on strike today or indeed call in sick on masse, the Company operations would be crippled tomorrow. Therefore we actually have all the power and I suggest its about time we used some of it.
Yes, it is conceivable that not all bases would be supportive, but not all bases are needed for it to hurt the Company. In fact just one major base like Dublin would achieve excellent results.
Yes it would affect our livelihood and it also presents some risk, but hey, life wasnt meant to be easy. It is a necessary sacrafice that we all should make united as one.
Sure, it would hurt many thousands of innocent passengers, however most of those pax actually believe the BS propaganda that O'leary & Co often spin about us and hence there is probably little sympathy from travelling pax anyhow.
We need to look after ourselves and our profession and to strike is a last resort measure, one which is well overdue. Personally I would support such action to show that clown O'leary, who is really boss!!
Over to you guys now for opinions pls.
