Day Dreamer,
Thank you for your post. I would first like to say that I have never said anything derogatory about Ryanair crew or it's trainers. I have many friends in FR who are Pilots and some of them Training Cpts. My Gripe is with the intimidation culture and working environment that these guys have to put up with and it's nock on effect with the rest of the European aviation environment. I am sure you are fully aware of what I am talking about and the first hand stories I have been told are shocking truly shocking. FR crew are under on time performance pressure to the extent it compromises safety. That is my opinion. In my company I have never ever heard of anyone being threatened or intimidated my management, or being yanked out the seat and told don't come in tomorrow and you know that this has happened in FR! Maybe it's because we are a UK airline and have BALPA something you guys are craving but don't have the balls to muster.......
