I'm not saying that Ryanair don't employ people they do, and they contribute a lot to our economy, but to consider their employment secure isn't accurate. And also while pilots, cabin crew and ground staff mightn't be all of the staff, they represent a large proportion of it. The majority of their workers are contractors, which by their very nature aren't secure jobs.
Remind me again of how many people Aer Lingus made redundant in Ireland over last couple of years....
