I was speaking to an ex Ryan Capt the other day who is now with our outfit and it shocked me to hear that Ryan carry a set of original Jepps on the flight-deck wrapped in cellophane, if these are opened it is a tech log entry. Meanwhile the crew actually collect photocopied plates from the crewroom and according to him on several occasions later in the day the crew discovered either pages missing or inadequately photocopied.
Eh? I'm out of my comfort zone here, but that story shouts "bar-room mythology".
It's the bit about "tech log entry" that really rings false.
And then there's the source of the story. Disgruntled ex-employee?
Still, could someone
who works on a Ryanair flight deck comment?
If it's all really true, I apologise. If not, someone else needs to do that.
