Oh my Lord. Staff will be transferred ''based on performance and attendance''. No safety issues there! Move along now! Nothing to be seen here

I haven't seen this elsewhere: Ryanair cabin crew on strike today and tomorrow in Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Belgium.

Without wishing to defend RYR, the general issue that you can be employed in one country and as a result can't get a mortgage in another is something the EU probably ought to have a look at.

Hi management dude. First of all, that's what Ryanair's been claiming to do for, well, months as it is. I'd suspect it would take a month or three to sort all the legalities out for contracts to be made locally, depending on where you were based. That time has long passed, and is clear testimony to the fact Ryanair's self-proclaimed acceptance of negotiating with unions were barefaced lies. They've been stalling for time, hoping for the winter season to cover the staff reductions. Short sighted as usual, but a move such as the one in Dublin does send a clear message and put the employees in conflict bases under a lot of pressure. He's testing their resolve or, in other words, it's all part of the great pissing contest.

You know very very well that Ryanair never acts in good faith... Thankgod the rest of Europe is finally realising it to.

Customers and crew all stand behind this strike Ryanair!

Is it time to help?!
 

Hi 172_driver. As you appear to have information that the rest of us do not have could you answer the following questions please:

1. Was the current IALPA President Mr. Cullen of Aer Lingus one of the negotiators selected by the union?
2. Were any other Aer Lingus people included among the negotiators selected by the union?
3. If not, what other airlines had negotiators selected by the union?
4. What reason did Ryanair give for doing a 180. Who (no names) did they object to?

If you are unwilling to provide answers to these questions then your statement quoted above remains unsubstantiated and mere hearsay.

Not quite sure you can legitimately apply the predicate to the subject of this sentence .... but maybe that's the English grammar classes of my youth finally finding a purpose.

There is a few words for people like You!
All of them will get this post deleted.

So lets just say You are WRONG !

Thanks for your input JPJP but no need to get all excited and upset. Let me explain.

In the light of the claim that Ryanair didn't act "in good faith" by walking out of an intended meeting with the union I thought it was important to find out if they actually DID walk out and why before trying to reach any conclusions.

Let us assume for the moment that they did do a 180.
If, and I say IF they saw any Aer Lingus reps on the union's team when they arrived they would have every right to walk away given the long history between the two airlines and, in particular, with the IALPA President. It doesn't matter which side of the discussion you are on, it happened. If you don't know what that history is then you need to look it up. In this (Dublin) dispute it is a very relevant factor whether you agree or not.

Any Aer Lingus presence on the team would have to be considered a provocative (bad faith) move by the union.

On the other hand, if there was nobody on the team from Aer Lingus then that's a different ballgame altogether.

However, following 172_driver's reply it is now clear that the 180 he referred to didn't happen at Dublin.

172_driver, thanks for your reply. Apologies, I thought you were referring to the high profile dispute with pilots at the Dublin base.

It is perfectly obvious that you have no clear understanding of the difficulties that beset this particular (Dublin) dispute, are incapable of carrying on a reasoned discussion and are just intent on ranting on with your obvious hatred of the airline blinding your mind. It's there for all to see.

Firing 200 pilots as cabin crew an advantage to their competitors.
