Thanks for the clarification aerobat. We get paid in a similar way, only our block times are not as generous. It also only applies to flight pay.
Well I can see why Ryanair are not going to have trouble recruiting contractors if they need them!
By the way I am not knocking the benefits of a union. Obviously if your terms and conditions are being eroded you need to stand up for yourselves. But your current situation is a lot better than some!
