Oskar I have to agree with you the new proposed new deal is complete and utter c**p! Everyone is getting s*****d. The proposed new sector pay is ridiculous for all concerned
I write this from a Second Officers point of view having just come off half sector pay.
They arrived at this SO rate by stating that due to SO being on half sector for 6 months then full sector pay for 6 months you earn 75% of the full wack.
OK so if this deal would go through SO's having just come off half sector would now have to accept the new rate effectively giving them around 60% of what they would have been entitled to under the current conditions.....RIDICULOUS
.
This is how I see it and please correct me if I have got it wrong.
I base this on an average of £1900/month sector at STN.
1900 x 12 = 22800/yr
22800/900 = 25.33/hr
75% of 22800 = 17100 (Currently for SO)
17100/900 = 19.00/hr
So the proposed figures of £15/hr for 4 or more sectors &
£17/hr for less than 4 ???????????
As i see it there are bugger all 2 sector days left in STN anyway so
£15 x 900 = £13500 sector a year
Thankfully the general feeling amongst pilots in the meeting I attended was that any difference in pays between the ranks should be reflected in the basic (which it currently is) and not in the sector.
What do my colleagues think have i got it right or completely wrong?

O.k....... who 
LEO off,and by the looks of it hes really 
....! Well I think its high time that we start to stand up for ourselves and go down the same lines South West went down 10 years ago.We cant take this deal and if we do we deserve every bit of **** that comes with it. I find it pretty amazing that they had the balls to offer something like this but then again this is Ryanair.I'm sick of hearing "oh its only this or that",well "this and that" has added up to a hell of alot over the last few years. "We Need To Make A Stand".Cant get onto repa today for some strange reason but is there going to be a meeting next week any time.

vanw you should have got a text about "possible meetings Mon 13th" from the ERC. REPA is hopping and the rebellion is gathering momentum. I too had a short period of the site being slow to access, but I got on after a short period.

* Now because we fly 5 on 4 off I will be spreading my 900 hours throughout
the year = before I enjoyed at least 16 days of not available because I have been very high on hours every single month and I will also lose my January, February and March of not flying because I don't have any more hours left = TOTAL LOSS 16 DAYS and JANUARY, FEBRUARY AND MARCH OFF
* Now because all these benefits the company will change my flight pay = before no change. TOTAL LOSS 15% REDUCTION
* Now we won't get pension, medicals, loss of license, food, water, car park = before I did'nt get that either. TOTAL LOSS MY SENSE OF HUMOR
* Now we get s**t share options but for that you will have to stay in this company for the next 5 years = before we did'nt get that but quite frankly who wants to stay here 5 years anyway. TOTAL LOSS 5 YEARS OF MY LIFE
I am starting to see signs of desperation because the truth is that the current 5 on 3 off roster that we have at the moment it just simply doesn't work. We all get so high on hours every month that they have to give us lots of not available days. By the time we reach January we all don't have hours left so they have to wet lease just about every airline in Europe to fly for us and if they don't change something I wonder where are they going to find enough captains to fly their new and shiny 45 B737-800 that are coming next year.
Just say no and say yes to 4 on 4 off, medicals, loss of license, pension, etc. Finally the market is changeing and is time to get what we lost.

kinetic - lack of care for capt. pizza etc is one of the contributing factors in this whole mess.the whole me,me,me concept,greed and avarice is for me an travesty.we are a unique breed of people who have a common bond of doing what we love.no matter how much these mongrels deface us,we have to rise above them.we may not like to fight but there are times when we have to.
most likely a pilot meeting for ryanair pilots scheduled for next monday details to be provided at later stage.i would urge all ryanair pilots to attend and show their caring and support for their colleagues.that in itself would be a good thing.(even non ryanair pilots can come,bring a few tinnies!)
LOVE YOU LEO!

GR, I am a little insulted at your insinuation, its about balanced perspectives, believe me I am making my opinion known on REPA about the proposals, I am on the [email protected] mailing list and I am going on Monday to shout my opposition to this scandalous offer.
I don't want to pick a fight with anyone but if I may ask you this GR assuming you're not DUB based, when you heard JG in Dublin was in court for victimisation did you sympathise with him like I?.... am sure you did.Did you want him to wipe the smug grin off O'Learys face??...I bet like me you did. Were you willing to to openly attack the company, without the veil of annonymity, for it's disgusting treatment of your fellow brother??
When the Dub guys walked out of the ERC and into the Labour courts did not part of you rejoice and think...go on lads we're proud of you... I'm sure it did for all of us. Did you make it known to management you sided with them, and wanted to bring your own legal case against RYR in support of your fellow man??

Some fair points Kinetic. My problem is more with people who refuse to join BALPA/IALPA/REPA and hope the whole problem will go away without it affecting them. I can't understand how people feel that unless an issue directly affects them, there's no need to offer even silent support (which is what joining a union is). I'm not suggesting at all that people are going to put their heads above the parapet and get it chopped off. What I am saying is that their is no excuse for not joining the union - the more members the more muscle. Sympathy isn't good enough, a showing a willingness to stand together and fight is.
The I'm all right Jack, it won't affect me attitude is short-sighted and ultimately counter-productive. What has "direct negotiation" done to improve T&C's?? On the other hand, a strong union hasn't done too badly at keeping things at least tolerable at many many other companies.
Make no mistake, if FR win this one, it's time to find a new career.

CamelHair.... I agree entirely, and I have very recently joined BALPA, even though I am not pro Union. With the impending fights ahead I wanted some facility for legal advice and possibly protection if it gets nasty ala Dublin (Leo don't bother to cut and paste please).
good that its only 0.5% for first year as well so it doesn'y really cost that much...... In fact with the current RYR pay proposal, it maybe the best time ever to join as with all these pay cuts , one advantage is the BALPA subscriptions will go down!!

I have read the proposed agreement, and it's shambolic.
We will be signing up for a large pay cut, victimisation for being sick and reducing days off in return, less annual leave when WE want it, sim on days OFF??? and with promotion to captain you get 85% basic for a whole year??
Are they crazy? Of course all of the newbie cadets won't care, they'll sign anything and could screw it up for the rest of us.
If this goes ahead there will be an exodus! Ryanair have stooped to an even newer low. By making this an unhappy place to be can only have an effect on safety in the long run.

I think all this talk of aggresive Ryanair management towards pilots is quite sad to say the least. More so when you conisder that unskilled Burger King employees have far more legal and apparent rights than pilots.
I'm no lover of unions in any sense of the imagination but maybe it's time to take your story of woe and go see Bob Crowe. If he can still maintain momentum for the already fat tube drivers then surely it would be near enough a breeze for him to take on the Ryanair management, at least shake the tree a bit.
After all it appears that you're constantly fighting a defensive ordeal with MOL and a quick poke at him will be of some surprise. It will give some degree of satisifacttion to the many aircrew whom he puts through the grinder just because 'daddy didn't buy him a pony when he was younger'.
Go get him boys !
