I am the first one to sympathize with the poor crew who have been forced out of CPH and BLL. They are humans too and shouldn't be disregarded. Ironically they're probably the least enthusiastic about the union's fight for fairer terms and conditions. Is Ryanair doing anything to assist them? Should they? The answer to those two questions gives and indication how much they really care about their employees.
The vast majority will fail to see how the closing of two bases and the loss of jobs and home bases can be regarded as a success
In establishing a level playing field for competition, it must be seen as a success for a Danish unions to ensure that Danish labour laws cannot be evaded. Akin to 'flag of convenience' in shipping.
How about the Spanish, German and Italian unions, are they insisting on the same " local employment rights" or is this a case of protectionism by the Scandi Unions
Probably a cultural thing. The Scandinavian countries have traditionally had very strong unions.
Not everyone is a fan of MOL, but at least he is consistent , of course we will get a tirade of " at what cost to human dignity, slave pilots, etc etc",, complete nonsense, if people don't like it they can leave to the apparently " greener grass" which often turns out to be a field of weeds.
It's not only the pilots. The cabin crew shall be remembered too, they're the ones who really cannot make ends meet. If you've spent any time in Ryanair you'll find there is plenty of well educated people but they're unfortunate to come from countries where the unemployment level is unsustainably high and they see no prospects at home. Owt is better than nowt.
