From the BBC
Ryanair says it has invited pilots unions from several counties to talks that could recognise them.
Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary said:
"Recognising unions will be a significant change for Ryanair, but we have delivered radical change before.
"Putting the needs of our customers first, and avoiding disruption to their Christmas flights, is the reason why we will now deal with our pilots through recognised national union structures and we hope and expect that these structures can and will be agreed with our pilots early in the New Year.

The Irish company has written to pilot organizations in Ireland, the U.K., Germany, Italy, Spain and Portugal inviting each of them to talks to recognize these unions as the representative body for pilots in Ryanair in each of these countries, it said in a statement Friday.

Well, it just shows what you can do if you stick together. Wow!
There'll be a lot of euphoria on the various bulletin boards but it's worth remembering that most Leopards don't change their spots. Ryanair have proven themselves to be masters of spin and this may just be another of their twists and turns. It's critical that all the Ryanair pilots now stick together and force through changes for the better. Better for themselves and better for the rest of the airline industry.
The long road towards decent Ts&Cs within Ryanair begins now so stick together, keep going and good luck.
(I'm assuming this isn't some kind of false news

Excellent news.
Now the really hard work begins. A union is only as strong as its members and you need reps and stewards with skin as thick as M.O's ego.
Good luck.

I believe a chain reaction has now begun, if they refuse to recognise all other bases, they will simply threaten to go on strike themselves.
I say bravo and keep the pressure up!

Very well done folks!
But be cautious, you won a battle, but not the war. Most of you don’t have any bargaining experience, stay united and listen to the advice of long time experts like VC Ingolf Schumacher and others from the various countries! FR will try to screw you wherever possible.
Congrats anyhow!

Here it is from the horse's mouth:
Ryanair Statement
This is probably the most important bit:
No union reps from other airlines allowed.
Ryanair Statement
This is probably the most important bit:
...as long as they establish Committees of Ryanair pilots to deal with Ryanair issues, as Ryanair will not engage with pilots who fly for competitor airlines in Ireland or elsewhere.
