It would be interesting if their pilots did this alleged 18 hours of work a week and not a minute more and see how well his airline runs.

He is an one trick pony, though that trick has served him and RYR very well for the last couple of decades. It is still far from sure that this crew shortage will mean the end of RYR as we know it, hopefully it might.

Probably not, but treating them as such was so far beneficial to RYR's bottom line, not to mention some who have cashed their shares recently.

Ryanair's management upheavel a few years ago was all about the sales side, but Ryanair is also involved in production. The production of flights with all the organization and coordination of input through proper ERM processes that takes.
It is time to consider an AGB - Always Getting Better - program directed inwards. Some reorganisation and low cost high visibility improvements of conditions worked for the recruitment to Ryanair Labs.

It isn't his pilots who have defined the limits.

Does this line of rhetoric imply he might consider conducting a dispute with EASA and other bodies, in order to increase maximum duty hours?

Unfortunately these are, in my experience, also the pre-conceived assumptions of many who know little about the job and what it really entails. One has only to hope that the media give sufficient voice to the pilots who are highlighting the reality of the situation.

They should all tell him we’ll work 18 hours a week because that’s what you pay us for, and see how that turns out !

it's your time guys, you guys have the golden opportunity to get improvements now. press now or never. Don't loose this chance. Good luck

Any truth about rumour that chief pilot has resigned?

“I don’t even know how there would be industrial action in Ryanair,” O’Leary said. “There isn’t a union.”

There you go guys and gals, MOL has told you what to do. Get a union

O'L can say what he wants about pilot lifestyles but the pilots are gagged by the companies social media and other non disclosure policies. O'L has been on a win win with that for years but all the lies about holiday cock ups and all the other stuff is well and truly knocking upon his door now.

it'll be interesting how O'L manages this if those still working there do go sick on a staged system as it'll sent a great message to them and the customers.

Good luck boys and girls this is your time.

Or £25 if you upgrade to Priority Voting :E

I also echo the support for the Ryr pilots. MOL is finally on the back foot. He sounds like he's going to be his usual arrogant self and play hard ball. Problem is the ball is very much in the pilots court. At the end of the day it's an airline, MOL can leave and it will still run as an airline, without the pilots and cabin crew, you have no airline.

Guys and gals your time has finally come where you can get what you've so richly deserved for all those year of poor treatment. Now is the time to stand up and be counted. Good luck.

Nothing will change whilst MOL is in place.

Business leaders with his style of management - rule by fear - have long memories and any gains will be short lived whilst he is in place. He will make it his business to take revenge.

Eventually he will have to be removed by the shareholders for progress to be made. He will never understand an inclusive style of management and genuinely believes he is something special. The last one I remember in the same mould was ExSir Fred Goodwin.

One; two; three ...

Why do you think they're 'working for RYR' anyway?

Think about it. It's a :mad: company.

Is it coincidence?

In a previous reply one forum member told me I had no respect when I suggested the RYR pilots to get rid of O Lairy and his bandit management.

Again, O Lairy has no respect what so ever for both cockpit and cabin crew, claiming "they only work 18 hrs per month"

Once again, go get him and get him hard!

Go on strike pan European or call in sick all together. And indeed, GET UNIONISED!

Hopefull then this clown will finally give in and makes this the real Southwest Airlines of Europe. A great airline, where people love to work for and where the management loves and respect their employees as well.

A market conform salary, fixed contracts, no vague work as a independent via an agency with uncertain tax claims, normal sick pay, the right to have your holliday when you want, maybe at a rotational base, as not every flightcrew can have vacation at the same time, a good pension plan and loss of licence. And finally the right to be member with a union reckognised by the company, of which the representatives can do the negotiations for you.

Go for it! It is now or never!
And finally bonded for a type rating instead of having to pay upfront.

He still has 47,000,000 shares. Don't think he's going anywhere just yet!

Buggah!

Ya mean he's still the boss?

Buggah!

Is Panic Setting in?

Have a look at your favorite Flight Radar/Plane Finder (whatever) - you will see that 2 RYR 73s, EI-FOH & EI-SEV have been pounding the circuit ALL DAY at Shannon (SNN) - is MO'L trying to qualify all the 100+ new pilots he has promised the media in one day?

Is it possible for EASA to censure a national aviation authority, because this mess would not have happened if the state CAA had actually regulated the operation and complied with EASA rules?
