but I'm sure it'll happily open that door for you to leave if you want to!
And happily charge you a €200 administration fee for doing so. Exploitation!
You sound like the Ryanair Information Minister. No matter what way you look at it this is exploiting peoples need to work in a time of high unemployment. Why shouldn't their shoddy employment practices have a light cast on them?
As for the pilots letter, it beggars belief for airline management to say that if a pilot signs a letter highlighting what they feel is a safety issue it is "gross misconduct". This hardly promotes a just safety culture. By the same token, if I report an accidental error that I make via ASR or MOR am I potentially going to be shown the door for gross misconduct too? Maybe I'll just not bother reporting it next time so that I still have a job next week. The IAA need to take a long hard look at this bullying culture of fear Ryanair have bred within their ranks.
