Ryanair faces the first strike of the summer

FRANKFURT – Ryanair complains daily in the Twitter short messages service of fancy and delayed flights. The European Commission must finally do something about the lack of pilots and strikes in the national air traffic control, is the permanent criticism of the Irish, but their customers must fear this summer also several strikes on the part of the aircrew who uses the season holidays

Ryanair is undergoing a profound change as pilots and flight attendants organize more and more unions and networks throughout Europe. They work for higher wages, temporary work and better working conditions.

The formerly strictly anti-union airline decided to change course last year and began initial negotiations with its employees. Additional annual costs of 100 million pounds (112 million euros) have already been recorded for the current fiscal year

The more moderate course is headed by the general manager of Malaysia Airlines, Peter Bellew, who has already succeeded Ryanair. – Christopher O 'Leary applies.

Negotiations conducted at the national level for weeks have not been successful so far. In detail, the directors of Ryanair are extremely stubborn, for example, reports Markus Wahl of the German pilot union Vereinigung Cockpit.

Smaller pieces, for example, compete for exemptions for bargaining commission members, and deadlines already agreed go unused. On the other hand, Bellew and Eddie Wilson, HR Manager, happily report constructive talks

A first pilot alert at Christmas in Germany and a confrontation of several days between crews at Easter in Portugal are now following the difficult season Touch work is taking place somewhere in the far-off realm of Ryanair. For this Friday (20.7.), The airline has already canceled 24 flights between Ireland and the UK, because Irish pilots are resigning a second time already.

In the week ahead, they still want it Tuesday (24.7.) Before flight attendants in Italy, Spain, Portugal and Belgium follow Wednesday and Thursday (25/26/7). On both days, Ryanair canceled 300 of the 2,400 scheduled flights each. About 50,000 pbadengers are concerned.

The airline could not say if the German airports were affected by the breakdowns. Affected travelers would be informed, he said.

The seemingly local interruptions may also have consequences for pbadengers from other countries, as aircraft orbits of course go daily through the network. An airplane that stops in Italy in the morning due to a shortage of personnel can take off at noon in Germany or England for a follow-up flight.

"Ryanair threatens constant conflict"

"The Ryanair threatens a permanent conflict," says Christoph Drescher, president of the European cabin crew badociation Eurecca, which brings together some of Cabin crews, so he believes that the company will self-close this open flank of its economic model.

The first low-cost airline in Europe will encounter a problem with its more than 13,000 Employees and its continental deployment of 86 bases and 37 countries, because it encounters an extremely fragmented union landscape.

Social and income regulations are collectively negotiable only at the national level, from the point of view of the country. other topics such as promotion plans or rules of engagement would probably be better eliminated at the group level Ryanair has larger employee groups in Ireland, the UK, Spain, Germany and Italy.

The managers, says Drescher, the boss of Eureka, do not know the relevant social legislation.

And the 40,000 euros, which one can earn at FR so-called in the cabin, are probably also more theoretical in nature. Aside from the fact that it's not a higher salary
I suppose you can earn 40k, but not as an initial salary. The higher salary comes with increasing responsibility. But that's how it works in all trades.
Incidentally, how do you come to the conclusion that as a qualified flight attendant, you should get a "top salary"?
