High low there is no exodus, there is people leaving 120 people thats less than 5 percent of the pilot workforce management couldn't care less.
The only thing that will change the situation at Ryanair is when people can be convinced to come togetheir and not cave in when management come with their intimidation during the next recognition campaign.
Remeber the next time you save 750kgs to 1000kgs of fuel, remeber the next time you take the gear down at 4 instead of 5 miles where the savings go straight into the executives pockets so they can slap us in the face with it.
Pilots in Ryanair save the most of money for the ryanair operation,Yet we are punished for it with !!!!ty contracts no pension no stability.basically being payed only 10months of the year.
If you loose your job as a contracter you are not entitled to employment benefits.
No where in the academic, theoretical or practical world of business would it be considered a prudent, efficient or best practice to punish or penalize individuals who make excellent choices in the workplace. Doing so would verge on lunacy.
So Nick14 for example join a union but dont just join ask what you can do to help out.Would you like you'r children to have these sort of employment rights?
For me the cause of unionisation in this profession is more important because the safety of our passengers should be our primary concern when you treat the pilots like this well you havent learned from the buffalo accident.
