With regard to the Sunday Times, Ryanair and "the truth", I noticed in one of its press releases regarding the Dutch documentary, Ryanair clearly states they have 1700 contract pilots, yet a couple of months ago in an interview with the Irish Sunday Times:-
Quote:
Asked how Ryanair pilots were employed, O’Leary said: “The majority are direct employees and a minority are contractors.”
The video at the stating page of REPA (not a union but secure platform for Ryanair pilots to discuss) clearly shows a percentage 70+ for contractor pilots and 30 % - for pilots with a Ryanair contract.
I guess it is safe to assume REPA knows the situation. The website REPA has 1600 members.
If the press wants to investigate Ryanair they should do more their best and try to find dissimilarities between official Ryanair press statements/MOL statemens and irrefutable facts.
