For once I agree with O'Leary, think hes got that spot on, how some airlines think there is going to be any demand for air travel this year I do not know.

Click bait, change the title. You missed the "Up to". Most aren't his employees anyway and are employed through intermediaries. Its like when he opens a new base and the magic number is up to 1,000 new jobs to be created. These magic new jobs have never been quantified as far as I can see.

1000 new jobs created refers to direct and indirect jobs i.e. airport staff so on and so forth.

Everyone promise yourselves now. When this is all over, you will not settle for a penny less than what you were being paid as of January 2020!

I fear this is MOL's 'why should they be paid so much, they're just glorified bus drivers' moment.

If only! I've found a large % of those joining RYR will sacrifice themselves for next to nothing just to fly the shiny jet. It really is this industries downfall. Lemmings...

Valid point, but who will define " when this is all over"? Will it be when a vaccine is rolled out or when Social Distancing ends or when the economy recovers?

When this is all over = when social distancing measures are completely relaxed for air travel. And, though we love to accuse those at the bottom of the ladder of taking up any old offer, the reality is not always quite so. Besides, that's for those on the top end of the ladder to address and ensure!

You should be ashamed of yourself and banned from this forum.

Do we have details by categories for these 3000 job losses? (FD, CC, ….) What is the split between mainline and Buzz?

I have a sneaky feeling that this is a step towards the "old" employment model of RYR, when only the highest-standing TRE, TRI etc had direct contracts with the company. Now's the opportunity to axe the majority of direct contracts, hence get rid of pretty much everyone who gets a base salary, regardless actual flight time. And then, as demand picks up, everyone will be hired on a zero-hour contract with a reduced hourly rate. Quite possible, I think.

Thats like telling a man stranded in the dessert that if he comes across a person Offering water, he should refuse unless it is Evian. You are funny.

Might want to brush up on understanding supply and demand. The coming years are gonna be reeeeeeeeaaaaly tough for people of your mind set.

Many people, I and most likely yourself included, will have a different opinion on this when the mortgage company are banging on the door wanting the house back!

The Simple answer is ‘Supply and Demand’

Is it 3000 actual jobs or does it also include the self employed work group?

Ryanair living mostly on subsidies from local communities and fee returns from airports, that is a funny comment.

Using a rough metric of five crews per short haul aircraft that sounds like about a reduction of 100 planes from a fleet of 450. This is in the same ball park percentage wise as BA's announcement of 12,000 redundancies. So two big players are saying they expect to be operating at around 75% the previous level, once things start up again. Obviously this is a best guess as nobody has any idea what things will look like post lockdown. Given the possibility of little or no foreign tourism for the rest of the year and curtailed business travel this might even be a bit optimistic in the short term.

So with Union recognition in RYR , how will they implement LIFO with all the different bases ?
Im guessing with base closures there will be by seniority, a lot of base re-allocation and commuting required so as to keep the seniority system intact.
Will RYR honour seniority bearing in mind the importance of losing your job ??
