On the contrary Ryanair has done something this week that Michael O’Leary said would only happen when “hell freezes over” and recognised unions for the first time in the company’s history. This after their disastrous past few months where they lost hundreds of pilots to Norwegian, leaving the once arrogant O’Leary to practically get on his knees and beg his pilots to stay and work during their annual leave. Are these events at the one entity that was foreseen to keep down terms and conditions forever mean that the global pilot shortage might actually be beginning?
