IAA REPLY TO RYANAIRDONTCARE CAMPAIGN...

http://irishaviationauthority.blogspot.com/2011/02/irish-aviation-authority-must-protect.html

Above is the letter ryanairdontcare campaign sent to IAA on 3rd January 2011.Below is their reply to ryanairdontcare campaign.

Dear Mr Foley,
I refer to yourletter of 12th January 2011 to our chairman,Ms Anne Nolan and also your letter to the undersigned dated 28th December regarding Ryanair airport standby duties and security.

The Irish Aviation Authority has responsibility for the regulation of safety standards within the Irish Aviation Industry through;
.Certifying and registering aircraft airworthiness;
.Licensing personnel and organisations involved in aircraft maintenance;
.Licensing pilots,air traffic controllers and aerodromes;
.Approving and monitoring air carrier operating standards.

Internationally-set safety standards emanating from the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO),European Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA),EUROCONTROL, the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC),the European Aviation Safety Agency(EASA)and the European Union (EU) guide the IAA in ensuring that Irish Civil Aviation operates to the most stringent safety standards.

In order to address your concerns regarding Ryanair airport standby duties I would like to clarify the EU regulations covering Flight and Duty Time Limitations and Rest Reguirements.

The EU Regulation state that a ''DUTY'' shall be defined as ''ANY TASK'' that a crew member is reguired to carry out associated with the business of the AOC Holder (The Operator) and that the National Aviation Authority (IAA) shall define in its prvisions;

1,Whether and to what extent standby is to be accounted for as duty.
2,Where airport standby is immediately followed by a flight duty,the relationship between such airport standby and the assigned flight duty.

The IAA has defined that time spent on airport standby shall count as full duty time and that if crew member is required to report for a flight duty while on airport standby then the allowable flight duty period (FDP) is calculated using the start time of the standby duty.

As a result of the above IAA provisions for flight time limitations (FTL) it is considered that it is not a requirement that flight crew be continuously located in an area,that is not open to the public.while on airport standby.

Some National Authorities have defined that if a crew member is required to report for a flight duty while on airport standby then the allowable flight duty period (FDP) is calculated from the time the crew member reports for the flight duty and not from the start time of the airport standby.In such circumstances it is considered that flight crew be located in an area not open to the public while on airport standby.

As the Ryanair FDP counts in full from the start of the airport standby duty it is not deemed necessary that accommodation be provided in an area not open to the public.
The IAA does not consider Ryanair FTL scheme to be in breach of any regulation.

In relation to the issue raised about terminated cabin crew and breaches of security.the Department of Transport has responsiblility for these matters.You may find it helpful to forward your complaint in writing to the security division.

I trust this resonse addresses the concerns raised in your letter.

Yours sincerely

RYANAIR MEMO...NOT PAID TO TRAIN

To All Crew

From Orsolya Szasz

Date 08/02/2011

Ref Refresher Manual Handling Training


Dear Crew Member,
All crew members are required to complete the refresher manual training.
All crew must read and confirm you have completed the refresher manual handling training by clicking the box at the end of the document.
If you still have any questions after completing the course,or would like to practise any of the recommendations,please get in touch in instructor or base supervisor in your base.

kind regards
ORSOLYA SZASZ
In-Flight Training Department.

John Said,  (in instructor ) these words were in memo.....
This is word for word MEMO from Ryanair,Europe's lowest waged airline...
As you can see training is done in your own time and not paid by ryanair....

RYANAIR FREEZE PAY IN LINING THEIR POCKETS AGAIN and AGAIN.

Im sure you all have heard somewhere or another that Ryanair made a Q3 loss of €10,but can still manage to make a predicted €300+million after tax profit at year end.So what does this mean for staff of Ryanair:

For the 3rd YEAR running now Ryanair,WFI,Crewlink etc will FREEZE pay again for employees.How you ask?It is stipulated in our contracts that should the company suffer two CONSECUTIVE quarter losses that a pay freeze will automatically apply.
But what Ryanair is doing is paying off obscure debts in Q2/Q3 meaning that they will make a "technical" loss meaning that they can freeze pay again and save themselves more money for the future:

For example: They paid out a €500 dividend to Share holders in October 2010,so why didnt they just pay out €450 and make a slight profit?Well that would have ment that they would have to give us a pay raise inline with our contracts,along with all the other staff in Ryanair and management.Bonuses would have to be paid etc.
But it makes no odds to MoL,Bonderman and Co. as they make there bonuses on the shares that they own and sell at a now massively inflated price at year end due to a huge profit and the HUGE SAVINGS(wages) that they have made.

Aswell as this MoL,Bonderman and Co. own all of the leasing companies for leasing aircraft to Ryanair but if you look closely at the Q3 report from 2009/10 financial year and the Q3 report from 2010/2011 financial year you can see that aircraft leasing from MoL or Bondermans OWN COMPANIES has risen from €69.6million in '09/'10 --> €74.1million in '10/'11 so management who said that they were also taking a pay freeze and no bonuses have actually been linning there own pockets through "subsiduary" companies that they own!How can we know this?

MoL as stated in a blog earlier on this site is as big a lier as Hitler was,Ryanair claims to have a "Brand new fleet of 250 boeing 737-800 aircraft",but wait a minute,Ryanair dont actually own most of there aircraft,the aircraft actually belong to MoL etc leasing companies that inturn lease them to Ryanair!If you look rather closely at the Q3 report you would notice that "Deprication" costs are rather low considering that annual depreciation rates on civil aviation jets is in the region of 7.5-10% of its overall cost.
This getting deep I know but have a look:

 With the average 737-800 aircraft costing $55million(€41million) then the math would be:
7.5%(depreciation) of €41million(Aircraft cost) = €3.2million per annum depreciation per aircraft then mulitiply this by 250(the number  of 737-8 Ryanair say they own) so there annual depreciation bill should be well over €800million(not to mention depreciation of company cars,computes property etc) not the €200.1million that they mention in there report.
So where is this annual aircraft depriciation bill?Well you guessed right,the costs are on the leasing companies books that MoL,Bonderman and Co. own!

I know a lot of you will read this and say its to deep to look at,or its stupid,but the fact of the matter is that the company is a very corrupt,deceptful company.They phrase things in such a way that it may seem true at face value,but look closely and its a different story.
This comes back to O'Leary on Joe Duffys show,saying that Ryanair dont charge for training,technically RYANAIR dont,but the companies that supply Ryanair cabin crew do.RYANAIR do provide training technically for free,but this is after cabin crew have paid thousands to Dalmac,Crewlink etc to actually be crew.
Ryanair has been decieving people for years crew,pilots and the general public,this is only a small example of where Ryanair gets there "Low Fares" from.They shaft there own staff and decieve them to keep there own pockets full!

On a closing note:
Im sure you have heard MoL waffle on about "High Fare,fuel surcharging airlines" but some might ask what does that mean?
Well BA for example charge a fuel surcharge of £24 for a return flight to Prague(A Ryanair route aswell),and a ticket with BA costs £100 return plus £24 f/s,so total is £124.New fuel charge brings it up to £130!
When the price of fuel goes up so does the price of the surcharge.So BA announced several weeks ago that the price was going up,they made it very transperant.

But MoL who uses this surcharge as a weapon of advertising propaganda also charges a fuel surcharge,but does it in his usual underhand,decieving way.
Ryanair do the same route return for £110,with no fuel surcharge in December,but then come the increase in fuel MoL said quote on quote "Ticket prices will rise by 10-12% in the next year to reflect our higher fuel costs",so the same ticket now costs you £121.Why?Because fuel is more expensive,so therefor Ryanair has slapped on a "Fuel Surcharge" but called it something different,"a Ticket price increase due to rising fuel costs".

But wait a minute,BA did the same thing,but kept there own ticket price at the same price but upped a fuel surcharge that was beyond there control.
Not only does Ryanair just hike the ticket price up,they do so in a way that may not reflect the actual increase in fuel costs,where as British Airways fuel surcharge is very transperant and can easily be checked against fuel prices(if your that concerned).
Another example of Ryanairs lies and  phrasology that the use to pull the wool over your eyes....

Ryanair is a complex mechanism,wrapped within an enigma and kept within a matrix,they are a maze within a maze of lies,decept and half truths.The general public will nearly always try for a cheaper deal,but you need to understand where its coming from and who suffers..
The staff,whethers its pilots,cabin crew,cleaners or accountants the only people who win is MoL and Co.

RYANAIR DISMISSED A PILOT BUT SAID,YOUR WELCOME TO COME BACK IF YOU PAY €8,000.

A Captain in Stanstead was dismissed from Ryanair for failing to complete a 6 sector day.The cabin crew and flight deck had there phones switched off (as we have been instructed to do by Eimer O'Callaghan) and couldnt be contacted about the extra flight they had to do,so the Captain was sacked!
But he has been offered to come back to the company as a First Officer(co-pilot) and told he must pay €8,000  for the flight that got cancelled as a result oh him having his phone switched off.

SHAME ON YOU RYANAIR.......................

RYANAIR SELF EMPLOYMENT SCAM, SAID THE DAILY MIRROR

Daily Mirror Campaign – Gizza Proper Job


GMB is supporting the Daily Mirror’s campaign – Gizza Proper Job.

Bogus self-employment - a scam where an employer falsely declares their staff to be self-employed in order to avoid paying employer's National Insurance along with basic employment rights – directly affects hundreds of thousands of workers in Britain and indirectly affects every taxpayer.

Lack of enforcement by an understaffed HMRC and lack of clarity over the legal definition of self-employment leaves employers free to exploit loopholes to cut their costs.



Bogusly self-employed workers don't get sick pay, holiday pay, redundancy rights, can't claim Jobseeker's Allowance if the work dries up and won't even qualify for a full state pension when they retire.



It's endemic in a number of key industries and services, for example, construction, taxi driving and courier driving, and growing in others, for example, retail, cleaning and other service industries, aviation and journalism. We've even heard of the first self-employed mineworkers!



The Daily Mirror's Gizza Proper Job campaign has identified a number of household names - RYANAIR, Addison Lee, Hermes Parcelnet, Barrett Homes and charity collectors used by British Red Cross, RSPCA, among others - that unfairly designate their staff self-employed.



Construction workers are three times more likely to be self-employed. The Treasury estimates up to 300,000 construction workers could be bogusly self-employed and puts the costs to the Treasury at ￡350m a year. Prof Mark Harvey, of the University of Essex , believes the figure is higher and costs over £1.7bn a year in lost tax.



Courier drivers are routinely designated self-employed despite working for the same engager for years, delivering parcels at set times and finding it hard to take time off. After paying for their vehicle, fuel and insurance, below minimum wages are common.



Factory and agricultural workers, frequently from eastern Europe, work "self-employed" for gangmasters with no security for below minimum wage. Romanian and Bulgarian workers are particularly vulnerable to this exploitation as they can only work as self-employed "entrepreneurs", except for some rare circumstances.



Bogus self-employment typically increases after a recession and this one's no different. Numbers of self-employed reached a record 4m last year, increasing as employees lose jobs.



The campaign already is supported by TUC and a string of unions including Unite, GMB and UCATT. Ed Miliband signed up shortly after becoming party leader and the Gangmasters' Licencing Authority supports the campaign after seeing similar problems in the agricultural sector.

2 EMAILS SENT TO RYANAIRDONTCARE CAMPAIGN FROM ''SO CALLED RYANAIR PILOTS.

Our campaign has been sent 2 emails over the last few weeks and we believe it has Ryanair written all over them.
Ryanair trying to get information from me about our campaign..
Bonderman ''hyipocrite''tpg capital and O'Leary''the mouth'' you can contact me anytime,you have my personal details....Our campaign is honest,not for profit but for human life....

LETTER SENT TO IAA,Irish Airline Pilots' Association,BALPA and Ryanair European Pilots' Association..

Dear Irish Aviation Authority,
We are a campaign ryanairdontcare that deals with the wrongs of recruitment and termination on probationary ryanair cabin crew.

(We have terminated and present cabin crew at ryanair in contact with our campaign and some facts are given to us from present cabin crew at ryanair.
The message below is very concerning with regards safety on board ryanair flight,to which i would hope,as you are the Aviation Authority in Ireland and ryanair are a registered in Ireland.you would act on this message below which was sent to ryanairdontcare.


(To whom may concern,

I'm currently crew contracted to Ryanair via Workforce International Contractors.When I went to the interview I asked a very specific question,as anyone would,what was the average salary?The staff giving us the talk told me that it would be £1000-1200 after tax.
I was rather excited by this,so I pressed on and accepted the the offer for training.The training cost including accommodation was €2700 plus €200 deposit at the start of the course.As I was informed that my wages would be £1000+ I took the 'training loan' offered by Dalmac(Workforces client training school),the loan covered all costs of the course and would be deducted from my wages on a monthly basis for 11 months.All students had to open a new loan account with AIB Rush branch,even if you already had a AIB current account else where in Ireland or if you were paying on your own accord.

Unfortunately once we started working for Workforce International the reality was a lot different to what we were promised,in terms of salary.Within my first 6 months my salary averaged after tax £732,then on top of this they began deducting my loan repayments direct from my wages in my second month.I also had to pay for my uniform which was a further £25,so all in all from the £732 I was averaging I had £291 + £25 taken directly from my wages.

After my third month I was in severe financial difficulties due to the fact that my base was 'over crewed' and we were given roughly 40 hours p/m to work with.We complained and complained to Workforce International that we were suffering terrible due to the lack of hours available to us,but they kept on sending new crew to the base ensuring that the few hours available were even further divided which added to our woes!

I struggled to feed myself for months,I sold most of my posses ions,including my laptop just so I could afford my rent and be able to commute to work.The only thoughts in my head day in and day out for months was,my personal finances,wages,rent,food it was an extremely difficult time dealing with all these worries due to the fact that Ryanair had put in a position of being given next to no hours,but yet 'fleeching' us to pay back the 'training loan'.I asked Workforce to reduce my loan repayments so I could better survive on the hours we were given,but they refused,even though they knew that we were coming out with £400/500 to live on,pay rent with,feed ourselves and commute work with.
They didn't even make any effort to help us with our situation,we were left to our own devices in a foreign country,struggling to survive.I contacted AIB directly to ask them about an extension on my loan,or reduce my repayments to something more manageable,but I had no access to the account and could not change any part of it.

The training loan offered to students is given with no financial background checks done,the loan is given on the basis that you will earn €17,750 in your first year.But all these facts are completely wrong the fact of it is,that the loan is given to students without any consideration whatsoever to there ability to be able to repay the loan without sacrificing your mental health (Depression)and general welfare.It has been a very dark part of my life and has left me further in debt due to further borrowing to survive.
Students are offered no protection whatsoever should they be unable to work,or be given no work whatsoever.I tried to get partial unemployment benefits to help survive,but due to Ryanairs nature of keeping cabin crew on 3/4 p/w, unpaid standbys at home you are still technically in "Full Time" employment and are entitled to nothing.We worked on average p/w 10 hours,but yet were granted a nearly €3,000 loan!Had I have applied for loan under these circumstances to any other banking establishment,I would have been due to the fact that I could not physically repay the loan without inherent risks on defaulting.Ryanair and agents are benefiting financially so much through us.

At this present time myself and many more probationary cabin crew at ryanair are depressed and no one will help us.The safety of board ryanair flights could be in jeopardy as a result of how we, as cabin crew feel...

Ryanair cabin crew.
Thank you very much for your time,)


I would hope the IAA would look into these issues to which cabin crew have said above.Talking to ryanair with regards these issues,cabin crew feel unable to do with fear of TERMINATION.

I have also informed you with regards the uniform issue of terminated crew,which makes many ryanair uniforms and airport ID cards available in the public domain and could be used to gain access to ryanair aircraft.This is a very serious safety and security issue to which you have never replied to.
Information will now be sent to the Irish press,showing them details of correspondences i have sent to you,with out a response or action being taken from the IAA.

Yours sincerely

Ryanairdontcare Campaign.

John Said,
The IAA must act NOW..The pilot unions must do more....

RYANAIR PILOT

Ryanair Pilot said:

 

I am a Ryanair Pilot and I speak from experience and what I say here is fact not spun out fiction.
There are many implications relating to the Brookfied Aviation contractors associated with Ryanair, some of which may not be obvious to the general public and the fare paying customers of Ryanair.
The whole reason that Brookfied Aviation was set up was so that Ryanair could shy away from it’s social welfare contributions as stated above and so that the pilots would have no employment rights. The manager of Brookfield Aviation is the ex-head of Ryanair HR, Declan Dooney. Mr. Dooney left Ryanair to set up the desired pilot contract workforce for Ryanair and this has grown to a massive scale due to the percentage of contractor pilots currently in Ryanair, about 65%. Various government bodies around Europe (excluding the UK) have questioned the legality of this practice and this is why the pilots are now forced to set up limited companies in Dublin with one of three Brookfield selected accountants (who take a mandatory 3% from their salaries) so that they can pay their taxes in Ireland, this is how they pacified the Irish Government. The limited company idea is only a temporary reprieve for them because Brookfield is only enforcing the new terms onto new pilots and allowing the existing contractors to remain on any scheme that they wish, even when their contracts are being renewed. There are hundreds of Brookfield pilots either not paying tax at all or paying through offshore dubious schemes in the IOM, Jersey, etc. In many cases these are people who live and work in the UK, so the UK government is missing out on a lot of tax and appears to be less interested than many other European counties, despite the fact that we are supposed to be cracking down on all illegal tax schemes.
So, the financial effect is the more obvious but there are more important effects to. The pilots are paid by the flying hour and their volume of work is totally dependant on the rostering department of Ryanair giving them some work. Often pilots are not being paid much money, especially in the winter months. Due to inconsistent income and pilots who are running into financial difficulties, often unable to pay their mortgages etc. result = PILOT STRESS.
The pilots are NOT allowed to seek work elsewhere because when they are not rostered for work they are on standby for the company to use them at a moments notice if they wish, this is every airline’s operational requirement but all other airlines pay a salary for that privilege. Some pilots in these winter months are flying two may be three days per month which means that they are earning less than £1000 per month, result = PILOT STRESS.
There is no sick pay, so human nature is to go to work when one is not really up to it, I’ve seen people in work very ill indeed. Despite the fact that the pilots are not employed by Ryanair they have to provide an official doctor’s sick note for any sickness whatsoever.
Brookfield pilots are often rostered to work from another European base at very short notice, they have to pay all associated travel and hotel costs themselves upfront even if they haven’t been earning any money for several months and therefore can’t afford to do so, result = PILOT STRESS. When rostered to fly from another base the days spent getting to and from that base are known in the industry as “duty days” There are certain legal flight time limitations in place to prevent pilots being fatigued and therefore not safe to fly, one of those limitations is the number consecutive duty days in a certain period and another is the length of each duty day. Ryanair refuses to accept that the days spent travelling are in fact duty days, but it clearly states in the official legal documentation that any days spent travelling at the behest of the company are “duty days” This can easily be conformed with the Civil Aviation Authority. result = PILOT STRESS and FLIGHT SAFETY ISSUE.
You may be wondering why I and many others put up with it, its because there is nothing else available in the UK which is why many UK pilots are now seeking employment in the Middle and Far East.
All in all I have used the phrases PILOT STRESS and FLIGHT SAFETY ISSUE where appropriate but PILOT STRESS is in itself a FLIGHT SAFETY ISSUE so the hidden effect of the illegal contractor pilots and dictatorship attitude is FLIGHT SAFETY and should be addressed by the Civil Aviation Authority and The Irish Aviation Authority before it’s too late, its unsafe! The Irish Aviation Authority appears to be entirely disinterested in the wrong doings of Ryanair due to its very close relationship with Mr O’Leary and his fellow directors.
If any journalist were to challenge Ryanair on these issues I’m sure that they would refuse to comment because this is all based on fact and they couldn’t possibly justify any of it.

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...

EMAIL JUST SENT TO O'LEARY''the mouth''...RYANAIRDONTCARE CHARITY CALENDAR ''DESIGN'' BY PRESENT RYANAIR CABIN CREW

Dear Ryanair,
I have been asked today from your present  cabin crew to send you this email.

After forcing us to sell your Christmas calendar you have made for Tafel charity in Germany,who do a great job delivering food every day to people in need throughout Germany.

We as your crew have come up with a better idea.As you know charity begins at home,which i am sure all our passengers would agree.So why not donate all proceeds to all ryanair cabin crew ,who time and time again struggle to pay our basic bills and maybe put a smile back on our faces..

This ryanairdontcare charity calendar was designed by your present cabin crew.

From Ryanair Cabin Crew.

Ryanair,
I am sure you would agree,your crew are sending a very strong message to you both,Mr Bonderman and Mr O'Leary.

RISH AVIATION AUTHORITY MUST BLOODY ACT NOW...STOP TURNING A BLIND EYE IAA.''CHARITY MY ARSE''

John Said,
We at ryanairdontcare have been sent this information today....Some words are changed to protec others...Shame on you ryanair....Charity my arse......

Hi John,

Hope all is well.
Just thought I would let you know about Ryanairs criminal activities that they have been commiting against all crew.
A friend of mine from ...... has just informed me that crew unfortunate enough to be put on airport standby have been FORCED to SELL "Chairty Calenders" in the departures lounge and baggage drop desks.

So She went down to the departures lounge for 3 hours and while there tried to sell calenders to try keep her job for longer.But she didnt just sell calenders she sold her dignity!

But she called back to crew room to do a flight of just over 2 hours  duration so instead of the £30 for airport standby she was paid £26 so all the selling she done in the terminal was done for FREE



Why is this is such a huge issue?Well Ryanair has broken the rules that they laid out for crew to avoid over stressing and exaustion:



Have a look at this chapter from the SEP Manual:Particulary the one about Airport Standby and the last bit I'v highlighted!


RYANAIR

SAFETY AND EMERGANCY PROCEDURES CHAPTER 1
1.15.7.1.2 The Commander shall in special circumstances which could lead to fatigue, and

after consultation with the crew members affected, reduce the actual flight duty
time and/or increase the rest time in order to eliminate any detrimental effect on
flight safety.

1.15.7.1.3 Ryanair shall ensure that:

• The Commander submits a report to Ryanair whenever a FDP is increased by
his/her discretion or when a rest period is reduced in actual operation, and

• Where the increase of a FDP or reduction in rest period exceeds one hour

REPLY SENT TO THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION WHO CONTACTED RYANAIRDONTCARE

REPLY SENT TO THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION WHO CONTACTED RYANAIRDONTCARE

Below is a reply ryanairdontcare has sent to the European Commission today.

Dear European Commission,


Thank you for your reply to my email, regarding Ryanair.

I do understand that the commission may not feel it is in your jurisdiction with regards employment law of probationary ryanair cabin crew, getting terminated for profit by ryanair.

I do feel a European company recruiting such a high level of young European students for a fee up to 3000 Euro, with a very high level of termination is a concern.Ryanair say training of cabin crew is taken by a third party,this is not true.Ryanair train these students.

Irish and UK government have been informed to which no action of a investigation has taken place.

If what we at ryanairdontcare are saying is true then Local and European governments must be held accountable to all Local and European citizens.

If ryanair are involved in a recruitment deception, to which the commission has been informed of, to not investigate this matter would in our opinion feel as if ryanair are a law to themselves..
We at ryanairdontcare ask for this investigation to please take place.

This email and contact from you will be posted on our website www.ryanaircabincrwjobs.com

Thank you for your time.

Kindest regards

CAPTAIN MORGAN FISCHER A HERO...O'LEARY (the mouth) BULLY

Financial Times: 13th September 2010

Ryanair crews’ no-frills idea: Drop the boss

By Pilita Clark, Aerospace Correspondent

Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary has for years endured complaints from passengers about his famously no-frills Irish airline.

Now a senior Ryanair pilot has taken the rare step of publicly challenging his boss after the outspoken chief executive said he was trying to convince authorities to let his aircraft fly with only one pilot. A flight attendant could do the job of a co-pilot if needed, Mr O’Leary said last week, because “the computer does most of the flying now”.

Captain Morgan Fischer, who trains other pilots at Ryanair’s Marseilles base, says he knows the airline is dedicated to keeping its costs as low as possible, so why not go one better – and replace Mr O’Leary with a junior flight attendant?

“I would propose that Ryanair replace the CEO with a probationary cabin crew member currently earning approximately €13,200 net per annum,” Capt Fischer has written in a letter to the Financial Times, which reported Mr O’Leary’s comments last week.

“Ryanair would benefit by saving millions of euros in salary, benefits and stock options,” the captain said, and there would be no need for approval from the authorities.

Mr O’Leary quibbled with some of Capt Fischer’s numbers but, in characteristically mischievous mode, he effected to agree with some of his points.

“Michael thinks that cabin crew would make a far more attractive CEO than him – this obviously isn’t a very high bar – so we are going to seriously look at the suggestion,” said Stephen McNamara, a Ryan­air spokesman. “After all, if we can train cabin crew to land the plane, it should be no problem training them to do Michael’s job as well.”

Capt Fischer, 41, who has been based in Marseilles for the past five years and has 20 years’ flying experience, mostly with TWA and American Airlines, declined to comment further on Monday.

Mr O’Leary is well known for his ability to generate headlines with eye-catching ideas, from coin-operated lavatories to “fat taxes”. But his thoughts on ditching co-pilots – first raised in a Bloomberg Businessweek interview earlier this month – seem to have struck a sensitive nerve among some.

Ryanair employees have complained to the media in the past, but most have done so anonymously.

Seeing a pilot publicly poke fun at Mr O’Leary, as Capt Fischer has done, is “extremely unique”, said Capt Evan Cullen, president of the Irish Airline Pilots’ Association, who has also written to the FT about Mr O’Leary’s comments.

Capt Cullen was provoked by Mr O’Leary’s suggestion that, in 25 years, Ryanair had had only one pilot who had suffered a heart attack in flight, “and he landed the plane”.

Capt Cullen said Mr O’Leary must have been referring to a 2002 incident in Belgium when a pilot collapsed with a heart attack shortly after take-off from Charleroi airport south of Brussels. A doctor on board who assisted the pilot described him as “clinically dead”, according to a report by Ireland’s Air Accident Investigation Unit, and the co-pilot had to return the aircraft to the airport.

“The safety implications are obvious, as is the reason for having two qualified pilots in the cockpit,” said Capt Cullen.

Mr McNamara said this was not the incident Mr O’Leary had been referring to, “although the fact that the first officer landed the aircraft without incident underlines the fact that a first officer in the cabin, or a suitably-trained cabin crew, could readily land an aircraft in such an emergency”.

He said the issue at stake was that aircraft were now heavily automated, and with more than 500,000 flights a year the second pilot was rarely, if ever, called on to land in an emergency.

Some safety experts dis­agree. “It is true that aircraft are far safer today than ever before and many of the processes have been automated,” said Paul Hayes, air safety director at Ascend aviation consultan­cy. “But in a high work-load situation, say an instrument approach in congested air space or in an emergency, I’d still like to have a pilot and co-pilot working together as a team.

Financial Times: 6th December 2010 Pilot who crossed O’Leary resigns By Pilita Clark, Aerospace Correspondent Captain Morgan Fischer is scanning fresh horizons The Ryanair pilot who said the airline should replace Michael O’Leary, the low-cost airline’s chief executive, with a junior flight attendant to save money has quit after being reassigned from southern France to the “Siberia” of a base in Lithuania. Captain Morgan Fischer was one of almost 30 Ryanair pilots working at Marseilles who had to move after the airline announced in October that it was closing the base following a disagreement with French authorities. The pilots were asked to bid for new bases. Most did so and were offered work at bases in Spain, Italy,Portugal and elsewhere, including some a few hours’ drive from Marseilles, where many live with their families. Capt Fischer, who had worked for Ryanair for almost five years and had spent almost a year resolving a contractual dispute with the airline, said he wanted to discuss any move first, according to a close colleague. This was because he was concerned the low-cost carrier could treat a request to shift bases as an agreement to a new – and possibly inferior – contract. The 41-year-old American, who lives with his family in the pretty town of Aix-en-Provence, was then offered a transfer to Kaunas, Lithuania’s second-largest city. “That was a fairly considerable kick in the teeth for him,” said the colleague. “Kaunas is considered Siberia for Ryanair pilots. It’s very unpopular to be sent there. It’s the back of nowhere with a completely different language. You’re in eastern Europe and the money is dreadfully bad.” As a result, Capt Fischer resigned. He declined to comment but, speaking from France, his colleague said the pilot had the option of going back to work for a US airline. Capt Fischer’s resignation comes two months after he offered a cheeky riposte to Mr O’Leary’s comments that airlines could save “a fortune” if flight attendants replaced co-pilots on aircraft now so sophisticated that “the computer does most of the flying”. In a letter to the Financial Times, Capt Fischer suggested his own idea to shave costs: replacing Mr O’Leary with a “probationary cabin crew member currently earning about €13,200 net a year”. Stephen McNamara, Ryanair’s head of communications, said the airline could not comment on individual employees or their contracts for confidentiality reasons. But he said fewer than 10 of the almost 30 pilots at Marseilles had not said where they would like to be transferred, “and so these have been offered transfers to other bases in Spain, Italy, the UK and Lithuania, according to where we have pilot vacancies”. He added: “All of our Marseilles pilots have been offered positions at other Ryanair bases, and the vast majority have already accepted these offers. “Should some pilots choose not to, and resign, then much as we would regret such a decision, we would respect it and wish them every success with their future careers.”

LETTER SENT TO PRESIDENT OBAMA OVER BREACH OF SECURITY BY ''RYANAIR''

Dear President Obama,
I am writing to you today with regards a airport security issue to which a U.S citizen, David Bonderman from tpg capital, chairman of Ryanair in Europe is involved.
I set up a campaign two years ago after my 18 year old daughter was recruitment scammed for profit at Ryanair.
After so much research we at ryanairdontcare have found a security issue with regards uniform and airport ID cards.
I have informed UK police and Government, to which no action has been taken.
Once probationary Ryanair cabin crew are terminated, for profit, Ryanair ask students to return their uniforms and airport ID card. These students pay up to £380 and Ryanair will not refund this money paid.
No record of termination is kept from Ryanair to see how many UNIFORMS and AIRPORT ID cards are in the public domain.
We at ryanairdontcare believe hundreds if not thousands. These items in the wrong hands of terrorists
Would give them access, not only Ryanair aircraft but all aircraft airside of all airports Ryanair use.
Also I would like to point out Mr Bonderman worked for the attorney general in the U.S in civil rights and feel it is Very hypocritical of Mr Bonderman, wrecking so many young students lives in Europe.
This letter will be posted on our blog ryanairdontcare and our website
I do hope that the United States of America will act.
Thank you for your time Mr President.I wait your reply.
Enclosed are photos of uniforms and airport ID card. Ryanairdontcare have access to 4 uniforms and 2 airport ID cards.

Kindest regards

McNAMARA (PUPPET ON A STRING) FILING TAX RETURNS FOR RYANAIR PILOTS

Pilots up to 50% have a brookfield contract and ryanair trying to get all over on a brookield contract... These ryanair pilots have a accountant to which pilots pay 3% of their salary in fees.. Well the accountancy firm is run, or co run by a McNamara. Stephan McNamara is Head of Communications at ryanair....So head of communications at ryanair is filing in these pilots tax return,,sounds dodgy to me.   Yet again ,more scamming from the no 1 scamming airline in Europe...''ryanair ''

RYANAIR PILOT COMMENT TO DAILY MIRROR

Ryanair Pilot said:

I am one of the affected pilots, so I speak from experience and what I say here is fact not spun out fiction.
There are many implications relating to the Brookfied Aviation contractors associated with Ryanair, some of which may not be obvious to the general public and the fare paying customers of Ryanair.

The whole reason that Brookfied Aviation was set up was so that Ryanair could shy away from it’s social welfare contributions as stated above and so that the pilots would have no employment rights. The manager of Brookfield Aviation is the ex-head of Ryanair HR, Declan Dooney. Mr. Dooney left Ryanair to set up the desired pilot contract workforce for Ryanair and this has grown to a massive scale due to the percentage of contractor pilots currently in Ryanair, about 65%. Various government bodies around Europe (excluding the UK) have questioned the legality of this practice and this is why the pilots are now forced to set up limited companies in Dublin with one of three Brookfield selected accountants (who take a mandatory 3% from their salaries) so that they can pay their taxes in Ireland, this is how they pacified the Irish Government. The limited company idea is only a temporary reprieve for them because Brookfield is only enforcing the new terms

onto new pilots and allowing the existing contractors to remain on any scheme that they wish, even when their contracts are being renewed. There are hundreds of Brookfield pilots either not paying tax at all or paying through offshore dubious schemes in the IOM, Jersey, etc. In many cases these are people who live and work in the UK, so the UK government is missing out on a lot of tax and appears to be less interested than many other European counties, despite the fact that we are supposed to be cracking down on all illegal tax schemes.

So, the financial effect is the more obvious but there are more important effects to. The pilots are paid by the flying hour and their volume of work is totally dependant on the rostering department of Ryanair giving them some work. Often pilots are not being paid much money, especially in the winter months. Due to inconsistent income and pilots who are running into financial difficulties, often unable to pay their mortgages etc. result = PILOT STRESS.

The pilots are NOT allowed to seek work elsewhere because when they are not rostered for work they are on standby for the company to use them at a moments notice if they wish, this is every airline’s operational requirement but all other airlines pay a salary for that privilege. Some pilots in these winter months are flying two may be three days per month which means that they are earning less than £1000 per month, result = PILOT STRESS.

There is no sick pay, so human nature is to go to work when one is not really up to it, I’ve seen people in work very ill indeed. Despite the fact that the pilots are not employed by Ryanair they have to provide an official doctor’s sick note for any sickness whatsoever.

Brookfield pilots are often rostered to work from another European base at very short notice, they have to pay all associated travel and hotel costs themselves upfront even if they haven’t been earning any money for several months and therefore can’t afford to do so, result = PILOT STRESS. When rostered to fly from another base the days spent getting to and from that base are known in the industry as “duty days” There are certain legal flight time limitations in place to prevent pilots being fatigued and therefore not safe to fly, one of those limitations is the number consecutive duty days in a certain period and another is the length of each duty day. Ryanair refuses to accept that the days spent travelling are in fact duty days, but it clearly states in the official legal documentation that any days spent travelling at the behest of the company are “duty days” This can easily be conformed with the Civil Aviation Authority. result = PILOT
STRESS and FLIGHT SAFETY ISSUE.

You may be wondering why I and many others put up with it, its because there is nothing else available in the UK which is why many UK pilots are now seeking employment in the Middle and Far East.

All in all I have used the phrases PILOT STRESS and FLIGHT SAFETY ISSUE where appropriate but PILOT STRESS is in itself a FLIGHT SAFETY ISSUE so the hidden effect of the illegal contractor pilots and dictatorship attitude is FLIGHT SAFETY and should be addressed by the Civil Aviation Authority and The Irish Aviation Authority before it’s too late, its unsafe! The Irish Aviation Authority appears to be entirely disinterested in the wrong doings of Ryanair due to its very close relationship with Mr O’Leary and his fellow directors.
If any journalist were to challenge Ryanair on these issues I’m sure that they would refuse to comment because this is all based on fact and they couldn’t possibly justify any of it.

LETTER TO MICHAEL O'LEARY & DAVID BONDERMAN tpg IN REPLY TO O'LEARY'S LETTER ON 18th OCTOBER 2010

Dear Mr O’Leary, (Mr Bonderman TPG)
With reference to your letter dated 18th October 2010.
In answer to my request for a personal meeting with you or Mr Bonderman to discuss what I still believe
is a recruitment scam, which my daughter fell foul to in 2008 whilst working at Ryanair.

My wording ‘’scum or scamming’’ I feel is not worthy for you to decline a personal meeting to try to
End these issues regarding termination of my daughter Sarah,which would stop our campaign and
protests against Ryanair.You say it seems somewhat late to request a personal meeting with you,surely the fact that i called at your home and work to request such a meeting means that it is you who are somewhat late in responding.Calling you scum is the natural response of any father who believes that his child has been left hurt and despondent,our may i say scared by the actions of ryanair.How would you feel if it was your child,left alone 100s of miles from home in a city she did not know.The fact that it was not your child doe's not excuse you from having sleepless nights.All our children are precious Mr O'Leary (Mr Bonderman TPG) and need our protection,love and care to which in all your corespondents to me you have stated it is Sarah's fault and all blame lies with her.Do not brush this problem off as you might do in the day to day running of ryanair.Do not brush this problem off as a union or a government body issue ryanair might have.This is a 18 year old child,my child Mr O'Leary and i will never give up on any of my children.

You start your letter ‘’your campaign’’ I must stress I am not alone in this campaign against termination
Of probationary cabin crew for what I believe is profit orientated by Ryanair. Many terminated probationary
Ryanair cabin crew are involved with RYANAIRDONTCARE and so many are telling the same story as my
Daughter Sarah.
Our campaign RYANAIRDONTCARE is not false or intended to deceive anybody Mr O’Leary but a way
To inform students about facts regarding termination and recruitment at Ryanair plus cost of training to which Ryanair say are run by third party providers. Cabin crew training we believe are taken by Ryanair and
third party providers are a way to move any blame for any reason away from Ryanair. The very same way probationary cabin crew/pilot contracts are from so called agencies ,if this is true why would Ryanair use
agencies and not do themselves ,knowing a higher hourly fee will be charged to Ryanair from agencies.
This leads RYANAIRDONTCARE to believe, recruitment and the contract which my daughter was given was wrong in many ways.

As no documentary proof has ever been given or shown to Sarah (lates, sick days and no shows) I would have thought it was common practise for any employer to undertake.
I can not except your offer at this present moment because of the differences to your own correspondence to me and Mr McNamaras.Your own letter Mr O'Leary has contradicted each other,without any help from me.

Doomed to continuing failure and a complete waste of time you say Mr O’Leary in your letter. To answer this I would like to inform you Ryanair/stjames recruitment is at a all time low level because of our campaign
RYANAIRDONTCARE and this was the aim at the beginning of our campaign.A great success Mr O’Leary. RYANAIRDONTCARE are all over the Internet and yes you are correct, many new recruits will join Ryanair as people need jobs but even if only one student decides not to join Ryanair cabin crew training because of our campaign then Ryanairdontcare’s campaign is a complete success.
You also say (campaigns like yours) you loose no sleep over.
Mr O'Leary & Mr Bonderman TPG you have never had a campaign like this before at ryanair and i reassure you,we are not finished yet..

I will finish by saying, i do loose sleep over what ryanair have done to my child and many more young students all over Europe.

MICHAEL O'LEARY REPLY TO RYANAIRDONTCARE

Dear Mr Foley,
your letter dated 4th October refers.

Your campaign (since it is based on spurious claims and false allegations),is a complete waste of time and doomed to continuing failure,as we continue to welcome hundereds of new cabin crew of new cabin crew recruits each year or our expanding leet and route network.

It seems somewhat late or you to reguest a personal meeting with me,having initiated your correspondence by calling me 'scum',falsley accusing me of 'scamming your children' and wrongly claiming that ryanair are 'doining scams' It is your daughter you need a personal meeting with,not me.

I note the new cliam in your letter that'no documentary proof' has ever been sent or shown to Sarah or yourself.Since you are not a party to her employment,there is no reason why you should receive any proof of her repeated absences from work during the first 7 probationary weeks in her new job.

However to bring closure to this matter i would be prepared to facilitate a meeting with Sarah,s former employer CREWLINK ,but only if both agree in advance that if they provide (with your daughters's prior written consent) the documentary evidence of her reported late,reported sick and failing to report at all on 8 separate days during the first 7 weeks,then you will agree to give them a written apology for wrongly accusing them of scamming your daughter and will also agree that they were justifield in their decision to dismiss your daughter for failing to achieve an acceptable level of attendances during her first 7 weeks of probationary employment with crewlink.

If you are willing to take up this offer,then please confirm your agreement in writing and we wil set up a meeting.If not,then please feel free to continue your campaign as you wish.Rest assured that i am 100% Irish ,i lose no sleep whatsoever at campaigns like yours,which are based on spurious claims,false allegations and empty threat of adverse publicity.
yours sincerely
Michael Oleary
chief executive.
