Costock_Fox Posted 18 September 2017 Share Posted 18 September 2017 They have just put an advert for new pilots out offering them £10k up from to join and existing pilots haven't had a pay rise in years . The main reason people stay is because competitors are based out of other airports and the shift pattern is stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Walsh5 Posted 18 September 2017 Share Posted 18 September 2017 Flew with Ryanair 3 times in the past 12 months and had no problems either time. Much prefer them than EasyJet who I wouldn't ever fly with again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ousefox Posted 18 September 2017 Share Posted 18 September 2017 I've flown with Ryanair loads. Never once had an issue and they are far superior to Easyjet who I despise after some of the experiences I've had with them. This is a proper cunty move though and shows the troubles with trying to cut their costs at all points. I'm flying to Pisa with them on Friday, as well as later in the month, so very concerned this is going to **** things as have quite a tight schedule.

Chico1958 Posted 18 September 2017 Share Posted 18 September 2017 It's a little like the post match threads this one When they're good they're fine But a few bad results and they're crap All we need now is King to become a pilot and everybodies happy. Don't see any thread on here Ryanair and Easyjet great, £89 Portugal and back. I've flown with both and for the money I can't complain..... OK they've cocked up. But if I'm looking for a cheap flight somewhere I'll check with them and Easyjet first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thousands of holiday makers, business people etc. have had their plans totally fecked up by a company that doesn't give a toss. To say Ryanair will regret this is a huge understatement.

Agree totally but the two lines you used were in reference to the Post Match threads. One word covers most of this.............Compensation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuchsntf Posted 18 September 2017 Share Posted 18 September 2017 Thankgod for old Dan-air and Ryanair.. few would afford european flights now, if it wasnt for these 2.Easy jet wouldnt exsist... delays, no refunds, all and I mean all airlines have their major problems... Strikes and unhappy crew c every airline goes through them Anybody jumping on ryanair business are just travelling snobs who dont like riff-raff like me saving 100s of bucks while flying simple, no nonsense.. In business c and in pleasure...I have flown them all..some great flights. For quick city ops, or long midweek breaks...great money no fuss.... And deffo not expensive... Many a european Wclass families working Abroad..love em, home and family visits msde affordable.Before they passed away , Dan-air/Ryan air prices allowed, my parents to visit me and mine, in various European locations... You snobs wanna pay 1-200 pounds more, be my guest... Ryanair..give seat choice, handbaggage/chk-in baggage , for quids less than others. Though English........Up the Irish..!!!

Spiritwalker Posted 18 September 2017 Share Posted 18 September 2017 About 10yrs ago on the way home from a family holiday in Spain my Ryanair flight was delayed by 17 hrs due to maintenance issues. These things happen and I would rather get home late than fly on an unsafe plane. What did piss me off was their terrible customer service. At 22.00 we were told to collect our luggage and make our way back to check in where we would be met by by their staff who would advise us what was happening and help sort out accommodation for the night. When we got back to check in there was no one from Ryanair there. The airport closed at midnight and we had young kids with us. Luckily we tagged along with those who had booked through Thomson and got sorted for the night. The cost for the overnight stay was 180 euros which Ryanair refused to reimburse me for even though they were bound by European law to do so. Because the delay was in Spain I had to deal with the Spanish authorities and it took me nearly a year to get my money back. I've never flown with them since.

Collymore Posted 18 September 2017 Share Posted 18 September 2017 I bloody love Ryanair. Practically flew for free with them on many occasions. My favourite being £7 return from Edinburgh to Lanzarote during school holidays! They also let you take on as much hand luggage as you can carry and you can put in hold for free on tarmac.

Costock_Fox Posted 18 September 2017 Share Posted 18 September 2017 I might slate them from an employment point of view but as a passenger they are usually decent and I've never had any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Fox Posted 18 September 2017 Share Posted 18 September 2017 Flown with Ryanair once and that was enough. Awful. Not a patch on easyjet who I have flown with dozens of times and never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 18 September 2017 Share Posted 18 September 2017 They've always been efficient and on-time with no issues. Also have been very organised (on-board that is). Now we've got to cope with too childscreaming-friendly transport in Jet2.com, for example, and the poor Rihanna (?) song at the end when the plane arrives at the holiday destination..

jonthefox Posted 19 September 2017 Share Posted 19 September 2017 Bastards cancelled a flight with an hour to go and left my parents stranded in Londonderry. No explanation, no overnight accommodation available and no interest in the passengers ( many with young kids) welfare. Thier response to compensation?. " take us to court, see if we care". Dogshit airline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually got away with it as well. It wasn't weight though it was size, one of those micro cases that's specifically designed to meet Ryanair hand luggage sizes. Tried to tell me it was too big and had to be paid for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony of all this is that if you're towards the back of the boarding queue at your gate they'll take your luggage off you and put it in the hold free of charge ?
