Apparently what the contract says and how the work is when the times are good could be 2 different things providing quite a lot of leverage to the company. Fixed that? :)

Full disclosure: When my previous employer was in a nose-dive and RA came alive, I made a list. RYR was #2 for very good reasons.

Negotiations on agreements for Billund-based pilots and cabin crew in Ryanair's subsidiary Malta Air have broken down.

Representatives of the Ryanair subsidiary Malta Air and FPU have not succeeded in reaching an agreement on the pilots and cabin crew working at the company's base in Billund.

The latest in a long line of negotiations took place today in London, but negotiations broke down for too short a time.

“We have investigated all possibilities for solutions. But it is clear that we continue to be too far apart. That is why we have interrupted the negotiations, ”says Anders Mark Jensen, Deputy Chairman of FPU, who has spearheaded the negotiations.

"I now go back to our main board to discuss what the next step will be," says Anders Mark Jensen.

Green light for a conflict from the union in Billund Airport:

Labor dispute: Negotiations on an agreement for the employees of Ryanair's subsidiary Malta Air broke down on Wednesday, and thus a conflict is likely to arise between the airline on the one hand and the Airline Personnel Union, FPU, on the other.
If this happens, FPU can count on support from other places in the trade union movement. Henny Fiskbæk, who is chairman of HK Privat Sydjylland, reports ready for battle and conflict of sympathy, should it become relevant.
In the first instance, however, it is up to FPU whether a conflict should be notified against Malta Air.
