    The simple fact is, a lot of these people would not be crew if Ryanair did not put the process in place to train them and then employ them.Many of these jobs just wouldn't exist without Ryanairs huge expansion.
    As in most jobs, there are the moaners who wake up in the morning and start to ruin everyones day with their negativity.
    Then there are the ones who appreciate what they have and make each day count.
    Ryanair will have both.
    Thankfully, most crew I have encountered have been happy and friendly

    There are three separate sources suggesting that Ryanair exploits its cabin crew - Sophie Growcoot (who recently contacted her MP), Air Scoop (above) and the father of an exploited crew member. Given that Ryanair has a history of poor treatment of consumers, it's hardly surprising that it treats its cabin crew similarly badly.

    Is this really true? If John Foley has been banned from MSE, wouldn't his three above posts have been removed? If this is true, then it would uphold the theory by held many of us here than Ryanair actively monitor this forum, possibly also using sockpuppets.

    Pleased to hear it. Many of us here focus on the poor way in which Ryanair treats consumers, but we shouldn't forget that Ryanair's staff also suffer.

    I do find all this worrying, especially when viewed alongside the news headline on the airline's website of RYANAIR FULL YEAR PROFITS UP 13% TO €569M

    I think most people travelling expect the pilots and cabin staff to be properly employed on decent terms and conditions.

    Yes, I think a common mistaken perception is that in view of the way Ryanair operates its business, then all the staff must be raking it in just like O'Leary. Thanks to this thread, we know that the staff have it even worse than the customers.

    "Suffer"?

    I was unaware they were being forced against their will to work for Ryanair. The government should really do something about it...

    And of course all the other airlines cabin crew and pilots are happier,
    maybe that's why they keep going on strike!



    Can one not complain about working conditions then, go on strike no matter who it is? Not at Ryanair as unions stop EXPLOITATION in the work place,exploitation used to gain high profits...The fact that general public have been programmed by Ryanair's O'Leary,who cheaper cheaper cheaper,AT WHAT COST?

    You need to get out more.

    Customers charged extra fee's by Ryanair,they can get over it.
    Wrecking a young persons life,(first job) they never get over it..
    Thank you NFH...

    You are being quite ridiculous. We have all had negative experiences at work, but to suggest such an experience will wreck someone's life is a massive exaggeration, or indicative of an underlying mental health issue for that person.
