The problem,certainly as far as pilots are concerned ( and I suspect we are not the only employee group thus burdened) is, in spite of CRM courses, etc, we are all basically Type A "Me Me Me" personalities ,who, whilst actually caring for other people, tend to always put ourselves 1st in that list.
Collective short-sightdness combined with that trait is why (so far) Unions have never arrived in RYR (& probably never will)
The clever ,& yes , downright dastardly/ evil part of the Ryanair business model, involved ,initially, before the bullying set in, using our natural "charming" personality streaks (egotism/selfishness/tunnel vision) to enable them to control us, by the cunning means of having us screwing each other, & thereby losing sight of the big picture.
From what I have seen, before/during/ & after RYR, I am left somewhat sceptical that we (as a profession) are capable of being generous enough of spirit to make it work.
Sad, yes, but probably the reality.
