The big problem here is crew shortage. Rumour from within says RYR are losing approx 150-200 pilots and cabin crew every couple of months. Hundreds of pilots, cc and engineers went to J2 since opening STN and BHX bases alone. Approx 400 are currently work their 3months notice as we speak.
Their policy of "everybody is replaceable, you want to leave? Get out" is unsustainable and big changes need to happen...fast.
Is this really the case - in which case what happens to their aircraft - do they just sit there idle? I can't see how the company can sustain that as a business model.
My parents had a delay coming back from eastern europe a few weeks ago and successfully claimed almost £400 each from Ryanair... far in excess of the original cost of the fares.
They have framed a copy of the cheque.... ;^)
