On the Irish main-evening news today at 6pm. Ryr stocks are DOWN 3.5% today alone. A "Main mover" on the stock market.
No pilot shortage?
So: RYR CANNOT get through the last 6 weeks of summer 2017 due to lack of pilots and the lack of ability / man power to train up cadets, upgrade suitable FO's to captain, upgrade SFIs to TRIs', get base-checks completed... LET ALONE have the training space to give >4,000 pilots their 6-monthly LPC/OPC!!!
So o'LIARy parks a/c and i'm sure will try to defer new a/c deliveries to COVER UP this massive pilot shortage which is now 20-years in the making , and, which is an ordeal of gross neglect, disregard and dismissive attitude and disgusting disrespect towards its front-line critical staff!
And, in 5 weeks time when "summer" ends, mid-term break will be upon us, Halloween break, and the 6 weeks of the Christmas travel rush! - Where will the pilot numbers come from to cover this ? How many more contractors and permanent employee pilots will have departed or will be serving their 3-month notice by then!
Shamrock (Aer Lingus) are about to hire 200 first officers...Any self-respecting FO will do himself and the pilot body a massive favour by pulling out ALL the stops to get into a respectful Airline who sees their pilots and cabin crew as "assets" - not "overpaid underworked peacocks and lazy bus drivers".. Norwegian, WOW, Middle Eastern and Far Eastern carriers will keep taking too on better conditions.
I hope O'LIARy, David OBrien ,
Eddie Wilson and the other poisons to aviation are kicked so bloody far out of the airline business they will never get within a thousand miles of an airline again!
THATS MY HOPE & DREAM for this horrific ordeal - if it is to come to an end in favour of a respectful airline industry we all dreamed of being part of one day.
NEVER forget what O'LIARy, David OBrien ,
Eddie Wilson did to all those fabulous men and women captains and first officers and cabin crew and engineers who were based in Shannon in 2009 and 2010 who got screamed at, lambasted, and insulted in a Conference Room at Shannon Airport by said managers, and who disgustingly screwed over all the pilots and cabin crew, and engineers.
NEVER forget what happened in Neiderhein also in a similar manner at that same time where captains and first officers alike were told to "Take it or leave it" regarding the NRN base being decimated by Ryanair management for RYR's OWN COMMERCIAL GREED just because Ryanair management did not get what they wanted from the National Governments of the time..
The €20,000-€30,000 pay cuts and base-changes FORCED upon those pilots was abhorrent.
The rot started long before that and has continued and continued since then.
When will it stop - when one way or another O'LIARy, David OBrien ,
Eddie Wilson and their ilk - get out of their industry - not just Ryanair - one way or another.
