The sort of fools who lap up the 'any job is better than no job at all' guff probably also believe that Gordon Brown is now the saviour of the world economy. The term gullible just doesn't do these morons justice. If Ryanair could fill its cockpits with these spineless tits (as opposed to the 60% we already have) then our pay would be considerably worse than it already is. There would be no lower limit to what these types would accept rather than confront the issue of erosion of their pay and conditions.
We are not talking about a failing airline desperate for its employees to save the company by taking a pay cut. We are talking about an aggressive, opportunistic organisation which has jeopardised this year's profitability through arrogance (Ryr is paying $129 a barrel for oil which currently costs about $40). This unpaid leave makes no appreciable difference to the company's results but is designed solely to prepare the way for 1 - 2 months unpaid leave next winter.
Wake up!
