Ryanair sacks pilot for questioning safety

Just read on reuters that ;
Ryanair has fired one of its senior pilots and is preparing legal action against him for questioning the airline's safety record in a television interview,the company said on Thursday.

I shall leave people to draw their own conclusions as to this action

I do find it amazing that rather than investigate what this senior pilot has felt necessary to say in public, you seek to silence him by sacking him.

Look om Reuters website to find the story

You are talking about a company which suppresses Facebook groups and Twitter feeds!

"In a further twist yesterday (07th August), the RPG Twitter
account has also been taken down unilaterally. Again, no specific reasons have
been provided.

“It can only be assumed from these two exceptional events that there seems to
be an orchestrated and deliberate attempt to silence the public voice of the
Ryanair pilots” states Evert van Zwol, Chairman of the RPG Interim Council."
