Clue not required. Members of RPG are verified Ryanair pilots with Ryanair crew codes, required as part of the sign up process. Each base has RPG reps which can and will vouch if necessary for any unknown. Membership runs at 60% plus. Go figure. A lot of work is done at base level by RPG pilots. It's not as Ryanair would like you to believe, a union front. The demand from Ryanair pilots opened this path and the route to this point has been the power of Ryanair pilots.
As a previous poster said, any Ryanair pilot who takes up a role in RPG will open themselves up to the company. We all used to wear RPG lanyards until a memo stated disciplinary action would follow for any uniform violation. Base captains then told pilots the RPG lanyard must be removed or face the consequences. As for RPG we are extremely lucky to be able to vote and appoint such top council members with top experience.
Basically RPG is Ryanair pilots. By Attacking RPG Ryanair are attacking their own staff. The very own staff who are having their homes raided due to a bizarre employment model. The same staff who are having to gel together and create a group to pay for legal representation against a state. Ryanair pilots realised along time ago, we are on our own if we don't join together and protect our own profession and at least get a legal contract in the country we are based.
