Even if we ignore the scandalous aspect of the advert the claim that saving one pilot will save £10 per passenger is nonsense.

If the average ryanair sector is 2 hrs and the average pilot flies 450 sectors in a year and the plane is 85% full, then the average pilot will fly

450 sectors x 189 seats x 85% load factor = 72,292 passengers in a year.

The assertion that by losing a pilot, fares will drop by £10 would suggest that each pilot costs the company £722,920 per year. What utter rubbish!!!
