Give them a low cost terminal at MRS and everything else they want and they still shut up shop and go with a months notice. Talk about burning bridges.

Ryanair will be glad if we cannot discuss the many routes being closed, the legal battles being lost and the big fall in profits that could come next year. I assmue we will be able to say now much better Easyjet is doing compare to un-named other airlines.

You must admit racy ole bean that you do NOT tolerate any off message posts regarding RYR. How much would it have cost the public for an enquiry in to a runway extension at BHD the building of it (maybe) before he would cite some spurious unfair practise and bugger off?

Looking forward to next years results

Why would anyone want to censor the Ryanair thread? Are their engines hanging by a thread or was it because of unrestrained deviltry? Either way, I question if censorship is the right approach.

It's shame. In my opinion, censorship is never the right approach.

Thank you for your answers, guys. Now, let's move on...

And nothing can stop Michael O'Sneary opening his mouth in the UK press on something that doesn't really concern him to court more publicity - perhaps to avoid the MRS débacle ............

Mickeyman - was the recent media coverage not referring to the "ihateryanair" website, or whatever it is/was called?

Wasn't aware of any reference to PPrune?

Apologies to all. My less than adept keyboard manipulation last night caused the Ryanair thread to become invisible for 24 hours.

No grand conspiracy theory, I simply bolloxed it up!

On a completely different topic, lets leave Allied Servicemembers out of this discussion. They are performing wartime deployed service and are not in any way domiciled employees. To state otherwise is falatious, and is demeaning. I assure you it is offensive to them. please desist from doing so.

Cheers,
Evileyes

It is incredible that it was the unions who brought the case against Ryanairs employment contracts. Here we have organisations, who profess to protect employees and their jobs, actively campaigning to put their members on the dole. They should have known that MOL does not make threats, he makes promises, and he has done it before. If they do not play the game by his rules, he will take his ball away.
I notice the chamber of commerce is trying to fight the courts ruling. At least someone is standing up for common sense.
If you want to see how much Ryanair means to the Mp2 terminal operation, have a look here....

Nope as remember most Unions sole purpose is to protect the interests of the people holding positions of power in the Union.

On this rare occasion i find myself agreeing with the French! We have Ryanair aircraft based in the UK ie the crew live here use local services such as hospitals GP roads yet pay no UK tax or NI on their earnings, which in turn puts UK reg airlines at a disadvantage. If you night stop other than in a hotel at your employers expense then you are resident in that country, this is not the same as a lorry driver sleeping in his cab.

Perhaps if the UK adopted this attitude the loss to the UK revenue would be less, in effect UK tax payers are subsidising Ryanair passengers whilst we cut the RAF and child benefit!!

Inkjet, you are totally wrong on this - RYR employed crew based in the UK have a UK contract, earn Pund Sterling and pay their taxes and NI in the UK.
That regulation comes from the old days when FR set up its first base out of Ireland and today might not even be necessary any more - however retaining RYR UK obviously saves a lot of discussions!

Disagree Racedo again I'm afraid - I was a proud member of a printing union for over 30 years and took my turn like everybody else to try to look after the affairs of union members and - yes - the interests of the organisation which employed us - trying to improve working conditions, pensions, sick pay etc and the profitability of the company which was in everybody's interests. When I started work as an apprentice at 15 years of age the boss of the company in York was the most obnoxious person I have ever come across in my life and I thought have I got to put up with this for the next 50 years - fortunately I didn't.
So Racedo all union members are not Bob Crowes and not all employers are like Michael O'Leary - thank God.

Whilst not having great affinity for unions, I have to once again disagree with Racedo. The sole reason MOL is fighting this is because French employment law is very stringent, once you employ somebody it is virtually impossible to get rid of them!

AIR FRANCE GUYS PUT RYANAIR INTO COURT BUT BEAR IN MIND THAT AIR FRANCE IS ALSO ILLEGAL WITH CITYJET, AND AIRPORT SLOTS AT ORLY ARE GIVEN TO AIR FRANCE GROUP BECAUSE THE MANAGERS GIVING SLOTS ARE BASICALLY THE SAME AS THOSE WHO WORK AT AIR FRANCE.

PATHETIC

You always hear that a camel can go 500 miles without water. How come nobody's ever bothered to see how far they can go with water? Give the camel a chance. France isn't the easiest of places to operate in but worth cracking.

Has anyone heard rumours that FR are to keep on the BHD - STN after the end of October?? The flights are not on sale, however a BHD based captain has said that he is to be put on standby for the first week in November for this route. General rumours also circulating among the BHD based cabin crew mentioning similar.

Other rumours are that if FR do pull all routes as announced, they will be back to Belfast within six months to a year?? Wouldn't see the logic in this decision myself, but that's the chat at BHD apparently.
