I don't think the airline has ever tried to be anything other than the 'Sports Direct' of the airline industry.
And I'ver always wondered why the UK government has paid so much attention to it, including having the CEO in front of an MP committee to explain himself, and to attack the policy of zero-hour contracts. If they put Sports D under the spotlight and harangue and embarrass the boss why not the same with RYR? It could be it's an Irish registered company, but it's largest base is in UK, so UK MP's can have a say on behalf of their constituents.
