welcome mrs Ryan - another MOL screen name no doubt.
I've read several Ryanair threads and there's a few things that puzzle me.

Do the anti Ryanair posters really believe every Ryanair pilot agrees with their views about the company?
And anyone who doesn't is either MOL or someone else from Ryanair management?
Why are the anti Ryanair posters so abusive to posters that don;t agree with their opinions?


the grim repa
Thanks for posting the letter.

IF IT'S TRUE the Captain was encouraging Cabin Crew to join the T&G union and distributing membership forms in the company's time and on the flight deck then IMHOthe company is entitled to view it as unacceptable behavior.

Firing him sounds harsh but he must have known the risk he was taking.
The letter says "routinely". Was this the first time he did it?
As JW411 says I could just about understand handing out BALPA forms to pilots, but what was he doing handing out T&G application forms to cabin attendants?
Did he think it was acceptable behavior? Or that the company would regard it as acceptable to be doing that in the company's time?
