It would seem RYR think nothing of tagging on a € here and a € there. 2€/pax for calamities cover e.g. volcanos etc. That's €150m per year for nothing. And that's only 1 extra charge squirrelled in under the radar. No pay rise for the crews in 5 years and the new contracts are on lower rates than before. Yet it would take only 0.70c per pax to give the crews a 20% pay rise. That would only recover them to inflation over the past 7 years, which they have never received. Another €1.00/pax would establish a decent company contribution to a pension fund. Those 2 items are considered unworthy of the worlds favourite airline and largest in Europe. Yet the cost is less than the volcano tax. Makes you wonder where the priorities are?
