would love to know more about this money invested in Ryanair pilots by Ialpa/Balpa you talk of.
A quick perusal of the IALPA accounts will reveal how much money IALPA have invested in the Ryanair pilots. I believe BALPA have also invested much. The amount invested is not covered by Ryanair members subscriptions.

I stand by my assertion that only an idiot would accept €56k for a jet command.

The problems you are hinting at in your short-sighted post are wider reaching than the relationship between the 1500 pilots and the Ryanair board of directors.
Make no mistake, Ryanair pilots are at the vanguard of the reduction in T&C's. Ryanair drives the standards of T&C's in Europe. Everybody suffers but it's up to the Ryanair pilots to stop the rot. It's in your power and yours only. The only people who seem unaware of this are the Ryanair pilots themselves. Everyone else is watching you, time to wake up and show some backbone.
