We're as I know that some of the social tax is the employers responsibility, in the UK the employee has to pay part of this ( known as as National Insurance ).
My post was intended to illustrate that some pilots who want to comply with the legislation in the area are being prevented from doing so by the authorities who it would seem can't get their act together.
The EU publishes these mandates and the EU states interpret them and them into national legislation bit the legislation fails to join up across the EU and its in those gaps that Ryanair is operating.
Mr O'leary is just operating in the gaps in the EU legislation and is legal to do so and so as much as the Italians might not like it he can go on until the EU gets its act together ( don't hold your breath it seams it is only the UK that has copped on to the corrupt, self congratulating, self perpetuation and utterly ineffective bean feast that Brussels has become)
