More on the same from the TV interview (Google translation):


According to the union is about 75 percent of the pilots contract employees of Brookfield Aviation International, which mediates the pilots for the company. Ryanair argues that these are less than half.
Swedish pilot union chairman Gunnar Mandahl says that contract employees pilots have not been part of the same security systems that direct employees - increasing the pressure on pilots and can lead to poor air safety.
- In this profession, I see it as extra bad because it puts undue pressure on the individual in some cases may be unsound in terms of safety. It can also be about the weather, cargo, technical problems on the aircraft. It's never popular to make a machine with 200 passengers to sit somewhere and let the airline pay for hotels, delay money, etc., says Gunnar Mandahl to report.
