I somehow have a feeling that this is what RPG and John Goss wanted or expected to happen.
I feel in this case Ryanair have done a gross miscalculation of their actions, effect and the consequence of what is to follow now.
RPG now have their official martyr, and can now most likely get further publicity, legal proceedings to follow and more support from more Ryanair pilots for the RPG and most of all make it a media case.
It's time for pilots to start standing united, not just with Ryanair - it's time!
