The banner for me is the final straw. If their own pilots are too spineless to stand up to them, someone else is going to have to.
Wonderboy's comments of
"Not only that but the apathy of ryanair pilots constituting the 'critical threshold' are affecting terms and conditions across many airlines. Managements all around europe are successfully re-negoting lower pilot salaries stating that it is vital in order to maintain competitiveness against strong performers like ryanair where the cost base is so low. "
are very worrying indeed. I seroiously believe that if they continue their seemingly un-stoppable march to a) be the biggest airline in Europe and b) to devalue and errode the terms and conditions of their pilots it can only mean bad news for all of us. The 40, maybe 30 grand jet captain will become the norm. As someone who has only just recently entered this profession I did not get into this game to earn 40 grand a year as my top career earnings.
So how can we bring this disgusting company down?
I can think of many ways, unfortunaltely most of them would see me end up in jail for many years.
