Probationary cabin crew is my field and NOT pilots.
Ryanair are registered in Ireland.All complaints must be told there.
All probationary cabin crew all over Europe have Irish working contracts.
The Irish Aviation Authority in Dublin are the LAW in the sky for all Irish Airlines.It is government funded...
8 former Ryanair employee's work for the IAA.
At a Ryanair recruitment day''Live the High Life'' Ryanair MOTO, is the order of the day which to many young want to be cabin crew,exiting for young people would you not think...Soon as you agree to pay,or except monthly salary deduction for training,pass training,with your first 2 days flying Un-paid, the Ryanair Moto,seems miles away...Most young people share accommodation with up to 4 and eat very basic food for the first month,thinking their second month will see their first healthy salary as Cabin Crew.
Then it sinks in,low pay, many home stand bys each week which are un-paid,am flying days out at 4.30 back 3pm..Worked 8 hours,paid for 5 as only paid whilst flying,,,Week after week the very same, and you can see why many look miserable.If they decide to leave,they will owe Ryanair's so called third party agent thousands of £ and threats of dept collectors chasing you for money owed,Danial Silverman Solicitors are dept collectors and based in Liverpool....
This is a lot for young people to handle so they stay unless they get Terminated,even then their last month salary is taken in fee's,if they have not flown enough,Danial Silver come knocking.
Also most new recruits pay emergency Tax of 42% as Ryanair agents delay forms with only 20% will be paid to Irish Gov....This tax taken by Ryanair,is placed in Bank Of Ireland high interest account..Ryanair's buddy,Bank Of Ireland were 80% of probationary crew salary is paid,freeze bank accounts of TERMINATED probationary cabin crew...Outside of UK, new recruits MUST open Bank of Ireland account for their salary to be sent...Most in Europe open second account of their choice and get salary transferred,which help increase Bank of Ireland's charges..
Ryanair's Bonderman and O'Leary act as people who create thousands of jobs,which in part is true,TERMINATION being up to 60% being for them to create..Called Recruitment for Termination.
Bank of Ireland,business's and many governments hold large shares in Ryanair which are Pensions PROTECTED....That is why Governments will not tackle Ryanair's exploitation...
Over 50 million each year is made from exploitation,this is the Ryanair way...
Maybe exciting to a young person who has never set foot on an airplane and whose only knowledge of flight attendants are from old black and white films made back when flying was still glamorous. Everyone else - no.
I don't doubt Ryanair are an awful company to work for - I greatly dislike my employer too. The key argument I'm making is I chose to take the job with my employer, and they chose to with Ryanair. We can all also leave any time we want but are choosing not to because it's better than nothing.
And while it may cost them a lot of money to leave Ryanair, that's their own fault for signing up to something they clearly haven't researched properly in the first place. Of course, I don't think they deserve that treatment, but it's what they signed up to.0 -

Sorry forgot to say,Ryanair have in the past flown new recruits to Ireland for sole purpose of getting this loan....
Great that a low cost fan like yourself taking an interest in this article.
Ah, the new balls have arrived.
PS. Just booked 2 Ryanair flights tonight :j0 -

If you don't like Ryanair (unlike so many million Europeans) don't use them. More cheap flights for me.0 -

Well it's midnight here, my bottle's empty, bug*er (and I'm sat here in a lovely place thanks to Ryanair) so I'll say goodnight
and don't forget to take your tablets, looks like you forgot this morning.0 -

I read an article about this a couple of years back. Im actually very sorry for anyone who gets treated shabbily by an employer, but there are thousands, millions of people who end up suffering in the workplace, year in and year out.
And its fine if you and your family want to boycott Ryanair, its also fine if you want to bring what happened out into the public domain.
But there are numerous companies out there who have questionable employment practices, you see it on these boards day in and day out.
And theres nothing wrong with raising awareness. But if people want to buy a Ryanair flight knowing all of the above, its entirely up to them.
And in these economic times, I think its going to be tough changing peoples minds when many people are driven by what value for money they can get.0 -
