Pilots on Ryanair contracts have a legal right to organize and obtain trade union representation to the airline. Pilots on atypical contracts, such as Norwegian, have no such right. Rather than run away ALL Ryanair pilots at ALL bases should immediately and individually join the Irish Airline Pilots Association via the internet:
Direct Bondi, the pilots made attempts to get union representation at various UK bases years ago and the management stated that if the pilots voted for union representation they would close the bases! They (understandably) chickened out - if you've got a big bank loan, a nice local base and a mortgage and children to feed etc this concentrates the mind somewhat.
