RYANAIR'S DECLAN DOONEY IS BROOKFIELD'S MONEY COLLECTOR FOR MICHAEL O'LEARY...SCAM..

Posted on pprune


The main problem at Brookfield is Declan Dooney.

I know not of any other person that is as difficult to deal with as this man. He lies and continuously fails to deliver on promises, but then what can you expect from someone who has come from the 'Ryanair School of Management'.
It is impossible to get an answer for anything, from anyone in the office, without it being passed through 'The GateKeeper' first.

I have no doubts that like you have said before, Brookfield were a pleasure to deal with on other contracts that were nothing to do with Ryanair.

The main and only solution to make sure that you are working within the rules of HMRC is to contact them. Be open and honest with them and they will help you and give you free advice. They run free events for people who are self employed and Ltd companies, and they will explain everything you need or want to know.
If you go to them and ask for help, and they see that you have not been operating quite as you should have, you will find they will help you to correct mistakes and will not take action against you. On the other hand, should you go it alone and make mistakes, submit incorrect information, you can end up in a whole world of problems.
My advice is make an appointment to see a Tax Inspector at your local Tax Office, and they will tell you everything you NEED to know, and believe me, it won't be anything like what Brookfield say it should be.

The other thing I suggest, is join BALPA or similar organisation in your country. They will offer free and impartial advice, and explain exactly what is going on from their's and other's passed experience. They also have access to employment lawers and information that would cost huge amounts if you were to do it by yourself.
And with regards to Balpa, if you are still training, then it is free to join and no membership costs. Once you are qualified with the licence in your hand, £24 Per Year!! Don't foget, you don't start earning until you have completed base training, and even then it is only 0.5% of your gross salary. When you think about it, this is less then £200 for a GROSS salary of £40,000. FO at Ryanair doesn't earn that because sector pay is not included. And you can claim tax relief on that as well!! There really is no reason to not join, if only for the legal protection they offer you as a pilot.

Brookfield Pilots can show support too. Please do because as you can see by the post stating the NEW PAY RATES, the reduction in Brookfield Pilot pay has started.
