yea camel i'm sure that's the answer why ryanair manages to work the way it does, it specifically selects self sadistic pilots that love when pain is inflicted to them, don't wanna get paid much, like to work 4 sectors a day and enjoy being treated like !!!!e by management... and oh yea, they also love being tied to their beds by their gfs and whipped when they get back home in the evening... wtf.
Don't like to be called stupid... there's probably better reasons why ryanairs workforce hasn't unionised yet... possible reasons:
1. management makes it hard by dealing individually with their pilots or through brookfield
2. a majority of the pilots at the moment are not quite unhappy enough (if unhappy) to go through the trouble of going against the company
ragarding IAA: it is obvious that ryanair has a strong influence on the IAA (and not only), and what exactly has this got to do with anything? according to the IAA's website its mission statment is:
"The Board and Staff of the Irish Aviation Authority are committed to providing efficient and cost-effective safety regulation of the Irish aviation industry and to providing, on a sound commercial basis, safe, efficient and cost-effective air navigation services, which meet the needs of our customers."
doesn't seem to me that protecting ryanairs pilots is included in the IAA's roles...
the day ryanair is making it's pilots so unhappy that a unionasition will be necessary it will happen. And hopefully soon so we'll get paid more... but I doubt it.
