Dear, dear. As SLF, I have no dog in the fight......but why the hell should there be a fight anyway?
RYR staff appeared efficient, professional and hardworking,-at least, those facing the public did.
Huge sums are gambled on setting up bases,aircraft and infrastructure and staffing them.- Persons risking their cash, rightly demand a return on their investment.
All you malcontents should put your spare cash
into Ryanair.
You will then have voting rights.
You will also become a greedy shareholder.
The more money the airline makes, the more you make.
The records of failed airlines seem to indicate that management who can actually make these undertakings prosper, are few and far between. Therefore, MOL is worth his pay, as his management, however controversial and distasteful, keeps the airline in business and allows it to expand and weather recessions like the present one.
Whilst many are disparaging about the lower strata of humanity that choose to fly RYR, you must remember that these punters are
added business and profit.....or would you like to go back to the old days when only around 5% of the population could afford to fly on a passenger flight.
Price out the proles, get rid of all the surplus aircraft , crew and facilities and then you can (well, the remainder can,) be one of the elite in an elitist environment.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, we content ourselves with a Ford, but look enviously at the Rolls and Ferrari owners.
Too many people want to be an airline pilot,-face facts, there's an oversupply. That drives down terms and conditions and helps make mass travel affordable....Eventually a balance will be achieved,as with every other occupation......as has already been hinted, -if you're willing to shovel ****, tampons,condoms and other unpleasant, malodorous effluent for a living (and, yes, it does get to that, occasionally) the pay's great, the pension good, the shifts easy and home every night.
But you prefer to tell people you're a pilot /airline worker/whatever.
Sewage operative doesn't have the same ring, does it?
(actually they're "waste-water treatment operatives" )
Join a union ,
yes! but don't fight management for short-term greed.....you BOTH have the same objective.
Happy customers will return ,high utilisation will give a decent profit, fleet replacements will be affordable and staff will get a fair reward for their endeavours.
Like it or not, RYR is a cheap, no-frills ,mass transport carrier....up the prices to cover what staff think they deserve, and the market will vanish....then you're ALL out of a job.
USE A UNION TO NEGOTIATE BUT DON'T KILL THE GOLDEN GOOSE.
