Shoeless

If you are Irish you may have a problem getting in at the moment. Rumour has it they are not taking any locals at the moment.

No "properly" set up airline will EVER post a significant profit.
that is because the airplanes dont belong to the airline but to a leasing company wich in turn belongs to the owners of the airline and ist normaly based in a tax oasis.
Should the situation arise where the airline is "in danger" of posting a profit, the leases will be uped to siphon off the money...

You may be correct in principle. However, you need to balance that with the shareholders requirement to make money out of their shares!

It is difficult to say exactly Mike, but the social security is around 25% if you are able to claim successfully you are self employed, if not it goes up to 30%. And when social security is paid and if you have more than 75.000€ left the rate is 43% (i dont know if it is progressive or not though) of the remainder. Italy is expensive but not as expensive as for example Denmark Norway and the rest of Scandiland where the rates are even higher.

The memo is probably one of the most pathetic and superficial pieces of crap I have ever seen from FR.
It would take a little kid to prove their ignorance when it comes to labor law, rights and social security issues since they have obviously no idea whatsoever of what are the LAWS in many countries where they have based crews.
Fun times ahead...

And so the bull!!!! begins, we've heard it all before about the lunchers and ialpa the air lingus association.

To any new guys in the company, don't take any notice of these propaganda lies.

Wow
 

Just saw the memo about the ECA. I think they are on the backfoot now. Looking forward to see what my collegues think of this tomorrow morning. Amused springs to mind.

Agree the ECA and IALPA are definitelty having an affect on this trashy management..

All Ryanair pilots now is the time to get a better contract... worker power.!

FOR A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE AND FAIR TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEY WONT COME TO YOU ANY OTHER WAY!

JOIN IALPA!

unless you want to work part time and on social welfare hand outs in the not too distant future..

WE DID THIS !

Anyone on a UK salary thinking of doing the command upgrade would be advised to think twice before taking a pay cut. The euro contract (for new upgrades) and exchange rate would ensure you do. What a farce.
