Ryanair faces flight chaos if pilots ‘work to rule’

Ryanair passengers could face further disruptions as pilots flex their muscles and demand better working conditions.

Last Friday, the airline announced it was cancelling up to 50 flights a day for the next six weeks as pilots had been over-rostered, and on Monday, it offered its pilots up to €12,000 to buy back their leave.

However, Ryanair’s Employee Representative Councils (ERCs), representing 17 of their bases across Europe, responded last night, saying that the majority of their colleagues had rejected the proposals.
