Smell a rat?
To one and all,Keep your eyes on the ball.
A news release from yesterday on the Ryanair website clearly stated that:
"Ryanair has confirmed with people involved in the LRC negotiations last week that IMPACT are demanding the following........blah blah blah"
This is a direct quote(except for the blah blah blah) and its importance cannot be under estimated.This undermines the whole IR mechanism of the state.These talks are supposedly confidential until such time as an agreement can be reached.It is now without doubt that our beloved management negotiators have been drip feeding Mr MOL with half truths.The man responsible for this has to be held accountable and should in due course when eventually exposed,be forced to step down from his position.
As a matter of urgency this debacle should be raised with the Labour Court on Monday.
Who are are Union Reps now dealing with?The IAA or Ryanair?
It has been no secret that the IAA have had a "special" relationship with Ryanair for sometime now.Just cast a thought back to the instruction to the guys in Shannon to facilitate Ryanairs operations in Shannon via a staff notice.Rumor also has it that IAA management have also intervened in assisting them with their flight planning in order to save Mr MOL even more Euros.
One has to consider the implications of an Aviation Authority that incidentally regulates itself,dishing out special treatment to any airline.What would our national carrier think of such practices?
As for the mole,well,we all may have an idea but for the moment,let the Labour Court deal with that issue in the same professional manner that we have dealt with the gross mis-management of the so called world leader that allegedly is The IAA.
Management are isolating and exposing themselves at every juncture.Just remember,NOTA has yet to be voted on.What are the chances of that portion of airspace reverting to oceanic?I rest my case.
