i have to agree with everything that has been said in the last 2 pages or so.
1)if 5/3 comes in then there will be a whole pile of captains leaving,this is the pilots trump card imho,the captains have to stand up and fight or just leave.most of you captains probably have enough hours to go direct entry to Dubai etc anyway
2)demand a waiting list per base:its very easy,just provide some proof of when and where you applied then post it for all to see.
3)the point about getting a 2nd mobile is excellent,everyone should do it.
4)stop working days off for them,they wont do you any favors so why help them?
note that none of this will cost ryanair anything to do,but if they dont then i hope they pay severely!!
