Are Ryanair pilots leaving in big amounts?

[Terrain Noted]

They cancelled 220 flights this weekend apparently due to French ATC strike. Or they don’t have pilots enough?

[DaveReidUK]

Maybe it was because of the French ATC strike.

[speed13ird]

a quick google reveals 5860 pilots flying around 3000 daily rotations, so I don't see a pilot shortage

[Terrain Noted]

Nobody leaving? Everybody still happily brainwashed?

[ATC Watcher]

The French ATC strike is only on Monday ,and is not supported by the main controllers Union (SNCTA) and in any case with the overflying minimum service in place , it would not affect Ryanair ops much
.Delays yes, but not cancellations by the hundreds. Must be other resaons

YES

[wiggy]

There's been no, zero, nul, ATC action in France over the weekend.

As ATC Watcher says the French ATC one day action doesn't start until AM on Monday and DGAC have called for minimum service with a 33% reduction in flights into nominated major airports....

[Diff Tail Shim]

Are not loads joining?

Remind me what the latest package and benefits is for experienced aircrew at FR, compared to other U.K. airlines, thought this airline was a copy of southwest airlines according to MOL without the associated high salaries and benefits there.

Well, having had a Google around, I can’t find hundreds of ryanair cancellations ‘over the weekend’ but I can find lots about 220 cancellations today thanks to French ATC strikes on May 1st.

Given the OPs second post about brainwashing I sense an agenda.

[Brian Pern]

Where are they all going to?

[kenparry]

TUI and Jet2 among others

DHL air uk

Good luck with going to AirUK, which is what I presume you meant.

[FUMR]

Herod, actually DHL Air UK is correct. I shan't include the gen on it. Google it for further info.

[speed13ird]

erm, 220 cancellations from an airline with 3000 daily sectors, some reality checks needed here

Thanks FUMR. My mistake, I assumed it was talking about two airlines. The AirUK I was thinking of disappeared some 20 years ago.

Cheers. A good airline it was too (and also as Air Anglia)!

Resignations still flying in record numbers and crew controllers desperately calling the current crew members to work on their days off. And it's only May

[A320LGW]

I'm in a very big base and not been called to work an OFF day nor do I know any FO in any other base that has been. Lots resigning is the hottest rumour right now though. They seem to be getting around shortages by sending people to work out of base.
