Oh my god what a sad bunch of saps, harping on about some senior managers flying around in a company aircraft just to tell everyone they still have a job!
Time for a reality check here people. behaps one should consider the differculty in getting to all the bases on the network, how many days it would take, nights in hotels etc, for example just getting from reus to girona to marseille would take days instead of 30 min. So a task that took a few days would take weeks, thus taking 3 senior managers out of the system when they are most needed. No doubt some of you would suggest that they are not managers a$£eholes, but i would say that the good folk at SAS, Sterling, SRtechnic, XL, Zoom,Flightline etc etc would not agree with you.
Being dublin based i must admit i hit the panic button last friday, but 2 phones calls later was imformed that they would be no lay offs, ok so i won't be getting a payrise this year and have to pay for a hotel twice a year and there will be a change to the roster pattern to suit a busy summer and quite winter period, isn't that just common sence.
Consider this for i have. i have several friends, colleague's who would kill to work for ryr right now. One 53 y.o. ex md80 captain no job, no job prospects. one 45 y.o. ex emb 145 captain no job, no job prospects. two 747 captains, manchester based with cathey told back to hong kong or F%&k off, one 54 y.o. a320 captain, no job, no job prospects, one 43 y.o. ag-pilot no job, no job prospects.One of these gentleman is currently living with me, and to see the pain he goes through each day to find a job with no luck is bloody depressing.
Ryanair suddenly don't look so bad, or am i missing something here.
