Italian Ryanair crews on strike wednesday, left without food and water

[markkal]

A strike of 4 hours is planned next wednesday by Ryanair crews operating in Italy, I would guess airline overwhelmed by the resuming of air transport in europe.....
Crews do a great job have been flying with both Ryanair and easyjet. But very often are left with no support from their management and this is off topic they are chronically understaffed for their ground operations. However seems strange that they have no access to food and beverages, their carts, on all flights that I have taken, appeared to be full.

Crew can access food and water on board as long as they pay. And no, there’s no discount. Passengers pay 3€ for a bottle of water as well as the crew.

Enjoy the future.

Thanks for the clarification, then what is the point to call for a strike ? I don't undersatand. Also I would have thought that they would have even a limited amount of food and beverages available for free, isn't that the policy inmost of the airlines ?

The truest statement, or description, I have seen about evolution of airlines.

Simple and very true.

I was FO on a Ryr flight that got stranded for 5 hours because of a broken door latch in the south of france. after hours of waiting the passenger were given a lunch box, not the crew...
