Captplaystation, you and I have posted the reality of the situation on here many times but posters such as Kremin refuse to take any notice.
I think we are wasting our time pointing out such 'facts' to those who believe that the power of the unions will overcome all odds and send MOL packing to his farm in Dublin. The union is only powerful if all the pilots become members.
Sadly and not without some of the blame being squarely on the pilots shoulders, the unions will never exist in Ryanair for all the very valid reasons which have been posted on here on numerous occasions.
Citing EU directives and spurious laws and rulings will not alter the fact that the pilot group will never be in a position to vote for a union. As mentioned earlier, they will be moved, sacked and railroaded, as they have been in the past such that any voting will simply trigger base closures and loss of jobs. Said base soon to be reopened with all the newly recruited, non union, pilots, on lower scales, from the holding pool of the unemployed.
Just pray that you don't become one of them.
Reality sucks, but it still remains the reality.
Kremin, how did your door kicking get on btw? Any luck?
