Don't suggest for one minute that anybody is better off in Ryanair than NAS. The opportunity to take serious action in support of your grievances still exists in NAS. You are at the mercy of a certain extremely unsympathetic CEO in Ryanair.
Fight your corner at NAS and I'm sure it can be a great place to work.
I still think that you guys under 40 with command time would be better off commuting to China though. Negotiate your own deal.
