PILOT CONTACTED RYANAIRDONTCARE

Hi,
I saw your website by purpose. I got it via google, anyway, i was thinking if you have ever approached the media with the real stories about ryanair.
As an employee, i am daily in it. i know all about the shit they do.
I work as a contract pilot, and have to work on my toes every day.  whenever i speak up, my head will get cut off.

there are so many things not ok in this company,
we have to pay for hour own typerating, uniform, sim recurrency and hotel, but even more stupid during work we have to bring our instant coffee cause we only get warm water from the company. anyway, this we can maybe relate to the low cost concepts...  besides nowadays there is no staff travel possible with checked in bags, last time had to pay 320 euro to get my stuff back to home. nice, charged by your own company.

but other things are that somethimes we fly more than 15 hrs a day, we have to ''play'' with the hours. we have extend duty times which are in the end not legal nomore.
besides that, 80% off all piltos are illegal tax payers. they claim the taxes back in the UK when they are on a ryanair contract or they even not pay at all when on a brookfieldcontract.

the best thing will be, and everybody agrees, that there will be a union, which will take care of all the employees....
ofcourse to prevent this, ryanair had freezed all the bases last year when there was a vote. that means, no command upgrades for first officers, no possibilities to change base, and there where new hired pilots, that had to sign in advance that they were against a union, otherwise they wouldnt get the job.


i hope, and with me 99% of al pilots are hoping, that one day this thing will affect ryanair, and someone will get to the media with this. and finally someone will have a look at the unfairplay of ryanair together with also the illegal things they do.
Thats the reasson they make a profit, and they are not beatable for fair playing, legal companies.

i am in the middle of the play, now all and am happy to provide all things that is necesary to make this a better place for all employees.

just my thoughts...
