Ryanair report gender pay gap of nearly 72% among UK based staff

It says the disparity is because of the number of UK pilots it employs - 546 are male and only eight are female.

More than 1,000 companies required to submit their gender pay gap figures to the British government have yet to do so, a day before the deadline.

By Wednesday an estimated 9,000 companies and public bodies with 250 employees or more must have submitted their median and mean gender pay gap data to the Government Equalities Office.
