Ryanair cost cutting plan
I would like to open a thread for FR managers to read and implement revolutionary and modern ideas to cut costs , improve efficency and add value for our shareholders.
I will start with a couple of ideas that a colleague came up with a few days ago, you can all add yours and let's hope our wise managers will implement them:
1- closure of all crewrooms and briefings to be done directly on aircraft with paperwork printed by F/O on his own printer and paper back home before coming to the airport
2-duty could this way start 15 minutes before ETD
3-crew to buy and carry their own fire gloves,life vests,PBE,crash axe and BCF bottle
4-loadsheets to be done on a re-usable plastic sample and then signed copy sent to dispatcher with an MMS from Capt.'s own phone
5-weight loss campaign to be launched amongst crews with minimum loss 10 kilos in 6 months in order to lower average standard weights and allow more payload
Your turn guys now, let's make this airline a better workplace!!

i think it's a great idea! but first:

I still cannot begin to understand why the TR package is still Euro 33K.
Surely, being the only gig in town, it is not unrealistic to price the 'dowry' accordingly.
I think Euro 45K is not unrealistic. THEY WILL STILL BEG FOR THE CHANCE!
Frankly, they will "fly" off the shelf.

All staff are to purchase pedometers (step counters). At the end of the month step totals should be submitted to payroll and a "carpet and floor wear and tear" fee shall be deducted from salaries. Employees (sorry, "contractors") are advised (not) to take steps to reduce costs.

Now why not get petty and ban staff from plugging phone chargers in? Make the staff buy their own stationary, or better yet tell them to steal it from hotels.
You couldn't make it up.

I didn't say that you stayed in hotels, did I?
It was from a Wall Street Journal interview:

1- Have the fuel figures and landing info sent to ground handling via SMS at Captain's own expense using the onboard ONAIR system (I guess it's .5 euro cents each message multiplied by approximately 600 flights a day it should come out with an approximate 110.000 euros/year).
2- Get rid of cleaners at the end of the day and just use the last crew to land to deep clean the aircraft since duty times end at blocks on and crew could be legally used for a couple more hours (cleaning products to be bought at own cost of course)
3- Have the Captains doing mandatory PA's advertising scratch cards and bus tickets to improve sales (we all know that the Captain's authoritative voice could do the trick).
4- Sandwiches and pizzas to be prepared by cabin crew at home in their own time and at their own expenses and to be sold onboard with the money going to FR
5- Pilots to invite kids into flightdeck after flight to make pictures and videos of them at a cost

Capt Pit Bull,
You obviously have no idea.
Ryanair would prefer you to switch off an engine immediately after takeoff.
Why waste money and fuel in the climb and cruise? After all, the aircraft is designed to be able to fly on a single engine.....

Ask new pilots to pay Ryanair to work for them.
It's the logical next step after getting them to pay for interviews, sim assessments, training, uniforms, crew food, I.Ds, car park passes etc etc. . . .
Ryanair pilots wouldn't even stop it happening, as long as they had a job and the company was making money.
I bet the managers will be taking notes from this thread.
