If you listen to any of MOLs meetings with shareholders, they are on YouTube, he often talks about how his pilots are paid €150k/yr and they only work 17 hours a week. Obviously no pilot in Ryanair earns anywhere near that sort of money apart from maybe some training captains. The problem with FR is that the exceutives like to think their pilots are laughing all the way to the bank, when it's actually the other way around.
It's philosophical really. FR has no interest in doing deals or competing with anyone. They just want to get the upper hand in every single area of their business and completely dominate and control every aspect that could have a negative effect on their bottom line.
I listened to the new CFO talking to some business news outlet and he threw around phrases like 'kill other airlines'; whatever happened to healthy competition...
This is the reason that T&Cs will never change at FR; because it would mean that the company would have to give concessions and that will never happen! Compromises and concessions do not exist in the world of Ryanair.
