Ryanair ? WTF ! a web site
 

I have heard and read some of the stories about the alleged airline Ryanair. How much their antics are a trend for the future in other areas of aviation, I could not say. In fact, that does not bear thinking about.
I have found a site dedicated to this 'Fred Karno's Circus', if you all already know about this site, please accept my apologies.
Now for your comments; Can Ryanair be really that bad?

The way they don't look after their employees !:=

guys:


what I really dont understand is: why bother with all this (website, union,...) if you can just leave and go somewhere else. the jobs are available for pilots and cabin crew.

FR,
 

g109, I agree mostly however two reasons I think that scare me are a) the amount of newbiews turning out for the JI and thinking that with 200 hours I can be a great jet jockey. In America that's the unthinkable as well as in places like Australia, NZ, and Canada. To me its better to FI for the most part or get a job with a Turboprop operator and build hours. b) FR is creating a new industry standard in how to screw the employee from money and terms. I disagree heavily with a SSTR scheme, weither it be a U2 or FR one, line training payments are a joke, and in today's world few airlines outside the major's offer the bonds without a payment up front.

I can't reach to every pilot in Europe but, if you want fair standards don't join a compnay because you can have a TOGA power setting or autothrottles. Join a company because all that hard work for QOL, and that money spent training needs to go to something earned.

I love flying and I love the job, heck even more so then some girls I dated but, (hats are sweet, old school from a young guy I know) the industry owes you two things, a free TR, and a solid T & C. That's it and with airlines like FR and even U2 cost cutting doesn't just mean on the website it means from your pockets too.

Simple answer which has already been said many times before.... Vote for a union!!!
