Are Ryanair pilots leaving in big amounts?
Can’t see any news regarding cancellations today at Ryanair. I don’t doubt some people move on to other airlines but it seems yesterday’s cancellations we’re all about the French ATC strike (publicised a few days ago by MOL himself) and not about a shortage of pilots.
BA also had cancellations.

If there were any flight cancellations before yesterday it was due to the weather. It will never be because of a staff shortage.
Was it 2017 in which there was a miscalculation and by October there were quite a number of crew that could not fly anymore til the end of the year.
The flights that were cancelled afterwards were cancelled because of difficult VMC weather conditions.

Absolutely bucket loads are leaving, predominantly from the UK.
Senior FO’s off to the ME, BA, Jet2, VS.
Every new command is being put into UK at present.
Lots of new FO’s dropped into UK, and forced to pay visa (5k) upfront and takes about 8 weeks for Ryr to repay the cadet…
Roadshows currently taking place in Brazil, Argentina, Turkey and QR, LGW roadshow this week.
Not sure why any Brit would join FR when the terms at jet2 are so much better. The Brazilians/Argies will do it for a visa.

Given that this is pprune I’m very surprised at the disproportionately high numbers of company oriented replies on this thread, but given FR’s recent aggressive recruitment drive leads me to believe that management bots spamming this thread is very much a high possibility

I doubt any Ryanair managers would bother with pprune to be honest. Actions (or financial results) speak louder than words.
