Ryanair - 'Laying Off' 600!!
It's happening....RYR is now operating at a loss (internally official)...
600 pilots need to be shed and everybody has been ask who wants some unpaid leave...So you know what's coming next...
Batten down the hatches, it's going to be bloody ....

Bound to happen...and expect more to come.
The continued rise in fuel prices will take its toll on the low cost model airline...and quite frankly I think this might be a golden opportunity, for airlines to pass from the weak to stronger hands.
In addition, it will get rid of the marginal operator and also provide another rather favourable outcome...low cost tickets go away, the great un-washed masses (some of which haven't seen a bar of soap in the last three weeks)can't afford to fly, making it so much better for those who can...this is called, enhanced revenue generation.
The bottom line will smile once again...for the survivors.
For the rest?
Down the tube.
Goodbye.
Think I'm cold and heartless?
Yep...however, these are the facts, like it or not.
Oh...boo hoo.

mmmm...
But cost base only matters if you can still attract customers.
Time will tell whether there will be enough disposable income for non business travellers to make the locos a viable operation.
I reckon 411a has been around long enough to be worth a listen to...

Price is king.
Airtours made a fortune in the last downturn by providing cheap holidays.
The premium, paid by companies, classes will survive: those who have to by their own tickets will go for the cheapest option.

Can't be that bad, I know a guy who had an interview a couple of days ago and got a job, if this really was the case why would they be still giving interviews?

I don't know where you get your facts from but Ryanair is not gonna sack 600 pilots when they are opening bases all the time. don't you think that they will need pilots.
Maybe the other operators are gonna be doing this as they are making a loss but FR are not.
You lot are idiots and have nothing better to do then worry about what FR are doing you should be worrying about what ur operators are doing more than FR

People were asked to take unpaid leave last your as well, times are getting harder and if oil goes over $200 per barrel as predicted I thing things will get bad, but at the moment I think the prediction of 600 redundancies is a bit keen... I hope?
