Lets not go there and compare JET 2 and RYAN on cancelling flights.
Last French strike had a daughter on a JET2 plane to PALMA and a daughter on a RYAN to FARO. Early morning from LBA.
Not one RYAN flight left , but the JET2 one did.
Cancelled flight means the CUSTOMER has to claim the money back and guess what some 30% never do !
Faro from Leeds easy missing France. Palma not so easy.
The Captain and crew on Ryan do not always get paid. There is some rule about if you board , but others will know better than I.
