Ryanair pilots have for years buried their heads in the sand whilst their terms and conditions disappear before them. In recent times they had their chance with BALPA and blew it. Now it sounds like someone else is coming alongside to rescue the sinking ship. Will the pilots accept the offer of pumps to bail them out or will they prefer to watch the water pour in and make the ship to the bottom of the ocean? The tragedy is that if the union offer is not accepted then the pilots will still not see the truth of why they have become the kicking boys of Europe. I just hope they grab this opportunity with both hands - there may not be too many opportunities like this again in the future.
