Subtlety was never a ryr strongpoint.
A lot to do with despite 'We'll be nice' the culture always shows in the end
“We want people to say, “This is a commoditised, functional experience getting from Dublin to London, from London to Madrid.”

It’s not an image,” he responded. “It’s real. I’ve always been a nice guy, just misunderstood.”

That clown O Leary and his scum management will never stop disrespecting the rights of their pilots, cabin crew and passengers.
Keep on fighting hard and continue with pan-european strikes till you got O Leary on his knees.
The aviation world will be a lot better off without him.
O Lesry its time to leave! Then maybe RYR can really become a copy of Southwest Airlines where both pilots and cabin crew have fine conditions, do their work happy and this will attract even more passengers. 71000 euro base salary vs 200000 us dollar in the US for a low cost captain.
This can only be achieved with staying unionised and don,t give up fighting. Strike, strike and continue strike till you get your conditiins you want and deserve! Good Luck!

Ryanair's shares plunge
It would have been easier and less expensive if they treated and paid their employees decently.

This was to be expected. Now clown O Leary and his scum management is closing down Eindhoven as a base after the strike on the 28th of september. He keeps on intimidating his pilots and cabin crew.
All RYR pilots and cabin crew, please don,t give up. Stay unionised and stay united and continue with pan-European strikes.
A few strikes are not enough!
RYR is feeling the financial pain already and passengers are less confident in choosing your airline.
By this O Leary will loose the trust of his shareholders and will finally be forced to leave.
Keep on fighting hard for the better conditions you deserve!

Not a $ermon, Just a Thought’
RYR is a very compelling distressed equity opportunity with a very robust GDS / 150 Airlines
RYR needs a strategic capital infusion to sooth BOEING & AMADEUS’

RYR to close BRE (2 a/c), and taking 2 of 5 a/c off Weeze.
And naturally, that has nothing to do with strikes, its just because of falling bookings. Most of the routes will be continued though.
IF the EU wants to have any credibility, it has to stop this. Either employees have rights or they don´t.

As a reminder:
I guess, he looses a lot of sleep over the closure of the BRE base.

Amadeus a couple of years ago bought Navitaire/NewSkies/OpenSkies, the so far de-facto standard reservations system for LoCos and the core of Ryanair's system since 2000 when they really started selling all their seats on the web.

Closing BRE and EIN!?
I am wondering what RYR want to achieve by closing BRE and EIN base 5 of November, except for the obvious union busting.
It is quite clear to me though , that this is a severe escalation from RYRs side and will scare away hundreds of FOs ready to upgrade.
Some old Captains are also refreshing the old CV , as we speak.
A rather self destructive move in my book.
But then again what do I know.
Gone Fishing.

RYR pilots and cabin crew, keep on with your battle, get unionised and continue to strike!
In the US the unions are much stronger and even a low cost captain makes more than 200000 US dollars per year, plus 15 percent pension pay. At the majors the pay is even higher.
Keep on fighting till O Leary and his bandits will leave the ship.

These base closures demonstrate more clearly than ever the need for proper local contracts. Closing a base with zero hours contracts is as easy as just rostering you from a new base. Is a zero cost option for the company. Closing a base with local contracts means going through a consultation and a redundancy process plus paying out the legal compensation. Closing a base with local contracts and union representation means entering a negotiation leading to minimising the disruption to employees plus paying above the legal compensation. The more aggressive the behaviour the greater the need for union representation.
Today, at 1100 CET (1000Z) a judge in the Netherlands will present a ruling on the Ryanair base closure at Eindhoven. The pilot union in NL has asked for a legal ruling in this matter on short notice, because Ryanair claims it can close bases OUTSIDE of Ireland, based on Irish law. The pilot union claims that Dutch law is appliccable at Eindhoven. (implying that a base closure is not possible just like that based on local labor law, workers rights, employer legal responsibility.)
Expect some fireworks, regardless the outcome. Will keep you posted.

This is going to be interesting: a Dutch judge just ruled that Ryanair may not close its base at Eindhoven. The judge deemed it likely that the base closure was a revenge exercise, pilots must continue to be paid and kept current. I wonder what MOL's next move will be. In Dutch:

https://www.rtlnieuws.nl/economie/ar...asis-eindhoven
This is the actual text of the ruling : (in Dutch)
https://uitspraken.rechtspraak.nl/in...eyword=Ryanair
Highlights:
1. Ryanair has misused its power as an employer, and will be held responsible for its employees
2. If a company has based aircraft and personnel in the Netherlands, dutch labor law will allways be appliccable to those employees.
3. Ryanair must keep the base open/is forbidden to close down in Eindhoven
4. Ryanair must keep the employees employed, and must continue to pay their salaries. If ryanair does not pay up at the end of each month, they have to pay €250.000 euro’s per pilot
5 Ryanair must facilitate that they do not lose their currency/licence. If Ryanair does not facilitate this, they have to pay 50.000 euro’s per pilot
Furthermore, this ruling will be in effect immediately. (uitvoering bij voorraad) In dutch law, this means that Ryanair can appeal, but this ruling will be in effect and all payments have to be made and are legally binding. (Until an appeal judge rules otherwise)

Brilliant
Does it also say anything about it being illegal to reverse any flights from Eindhovens destinations and serve the routes from the destinations , as for example was planed in Oslo Rygge two years ago, or Billund or Copenhagen or Bremen etc.
