Thanks plain-plane.

For you and the rest in the forum, most of the negative stuff I seem to be reading about Ryanair has to do with its CEO and the fact that it is very anti-union. We're obviously very unionized here at UAL, and I was wondering what the Ryanair pilots do concerning the frequent (or at least more than here in the U.S.) strikes I read about. Does Ryanair typically force its pilots and staff to cross other airlines' picket lines or fly what we call "struck work?" That's a big "no-no" out here and I was wondering how that is handled at Ryanair and/or how that has been handled in the past. I imagine that since it seems like many pilots don't stick around at Ryanair, there would be concern about ending up on a desired unionized carrier's "short list" if you know what I mean....
