Ryanair pilots reject bonus to work through cancellation crisis
A group of Ryanair pilots has rejected a cash bonus to work extra days after the airline cancelled 2,100 flights because it "Messed up" crew holidays. The letter said: "The pilot market is changing, and Ryanair will need to change the ways which the pilots and management work together to ensure a stable and common future for everyone". One pilot told me that this is their one chance to improve conditions at work. In recent days I've been contacted by almost 20 current and former Ryanair pilots telling me that the company is losing unhappy crews quicker than it can replace them. The big question now is, if pilots decide to escalate things, say, a work to rule for example, will Ryanair be able to get through the next few weeks without having to cancel yet more flights?
