Thanks for the color there Bondi and i am sure you want the best for Ryanair pilots but when you say that it`s up to permanent to lead the way perhaps that`s true in a sense but it`s also important to point out that no one is left thinking that it is up to someone else to sort this out because everybody is in the same boat and contractors need to take part as well. If only permanent can vote they in turn need the support of contractors and vice versa on other issues. All need to participate to be able to reach a point where their goals can be achieved which should include the long term ability to negotiate with the company imho.
The moment pilots is acting as one is the moment everything else will fall into place.
