Ryanair
No one knows why. All guess work really. In modern days in most large companies HR rule the roost. Gone are the days of a fellow pilot putting in a good word. Now words such as "canvassing" are used to deter anyone entering the HR domain with suggestions of their own.
Apparently some Irish pilots who are currently in Ryanair have upset upper management. In turn have said right, obviously the Irish are hassle; let’s focus on other countries for the moment.
I don't find this reason the most convincing. But none the less, you have to see there is something amiss. So I like others, don't really have a clue. And that is the way these HR departments want it. Regardless, one thing is certain. It's out of our control. It's just a matter of keeping ourselves busy, being prepared and waiting patiently. With a bit of luck, it will come our way.
