I have to agree with the above in that the problem is that we all have a different experience of Ryanair and, consequently, a different attitude to our treatment. Added to that, we have different expectations - a guy who has come from bankrupt airline will find less to criticise than someone else, for example.

The problem is that few of us are prepared to empathise with those of our colleagues in difficulty and even fewer are prepared to take positive action about it. If you're in a base where the sun shines and you don't get too much nonsense from the BC then why would you worry about a guy getting sacked for handing out a leaflet or other pilots being arbitrarily uprooted when a base closes. Not your problem, really. Only problem is, eventually it will be you in difficulty and then who is going to support you?

In the end, it's highly unlikely that Ryanair's opportunistic and cynical business philosophy will ever change or that a sufficient number of pilots will ever be prepared to act for a common purpose. When you get that into your head, then you either put up with the crap or leave - and my crap bucket is full.

All the best to those who choose to stay.
