Summer cancellations?
Lets get back to the basics Boys!
How many aircraft does RYR have to ground this summer IF they do NOT solve this problem ASAP.
I am thinking 10 to 20 percent!!
So out of ca 400 active ac that is 40 to 80 aircraft with routes to fly, but NO CREW.
There is a lot going on , but it is to little to late.
Titanic comes to mind!
The Worlds largest Liner it said on the poster!
Also with a Great Skipper.

that is the 64 million euro question! They cannot afford another mass cancellation of flights next summer.......will they park early or chance their arm.
These crew shortages normally take 12 months to sort out......

Nope! The diversionary tactics with the talk of unions doesn't see to have stemmed the flow of resignations! I hear 36 just this month so far! (It's only 10 days!!) Over 200 from end of Oct to December......mostly captains and command ready FOs..... So not looking great!
Nothing has really changed, the whole Union thing is for the press and the paying public, behind the scenes the same old carry on.
The problem is see is that with the experienced guys leaving, it leaves only the latest cadets to take the helm, and to be honest I wouldn't want them taking it!!
There are guys who initially failed the assessment now out there flying.....desperation!
But it's Ok, on Ryanair.com they brag that they recruited a 1000 pilots.....lol.

I guess that’s the price of setting up crew bases in so many different cities/ countries. There are advantages of course. Some Airlines choose not to do it as they think the cost outweighs the benefit.

From a smaller base I hear that the roster is supposedly covered but they’re phoning Crew to work days off. My friends base still operating without standby cover for both seats on the odd day. Captains operating right seat sometimes. All can’t be well? He reckons summer could be messy. Best MOL pulls a rabbit out the hat soon!

Apparently line Captains do a right seat check and can operate as PM and also fly the approaches for Monitored cat 1& Cat 3 purposes with standard SOP’s having left seat always taking control off these to complete landing and rollout. Cannot take off or land.

So there is no company council being formed in the UK?
There hasn’t been two meetings with BALPA including one last Week?
Jesus..... put a sock in it.
What did you do when you were here VOKES? Did you contribute anything towards improving things? Hmmm that’s right you just paid for your rating got your hours and bailed out. I’m glad I’m not the Captain listening to a pompous sciolist who is now at a “proper airline”.
I was offered a job at TOM 5 years ago too. Financially speaking I’m glad I didn’t go comparing the salary I’m on now by comparison to what I would be on in TOM in the RHS. Horses for courses. A good few pals of mine joined and they are all modest, decent, and well informed individuals. You appear to be anything but...
Grow up.

Indeed
How I love listening to these guys that had to pay to get a job!
I have words for it , but my posting would instantly be taken down.
Anyway!
There is progress.
Due to the Unions, AND the fact that pilots are leaving every day.
