Michaeolearygenius- first off i'll start with the name, there is nothing genius about cost cutting if your ruthless enough and then even more ruthless with 3 billion in the bank earning 400- 600 a million a year in profit but still finding it necesary to cut your staffs salaries and conditions.its just plain greed.
You reap what you sow--I took the job in Ryanair as a reluctant contracter because it was a sounder financial decision than going on the dole.If i didnt join, the system would still be the same because thats the way ryanair have created it.this has been discussed at lenght add nausuem.
Bearing this in mind this doesnt mean i cannot disagree with the way the company operates because as a professional pilot i believe it is my duty to stand up to anyone company or otherwise that may encroach on safety for financial gain.
