Pilot’s open letter to O’Leary

A Dublin-based Ryanair pilot has “reluctantly” stepped forward and written an open letter to Michael O’Leary publicly criticised the stance it has taken on negotiating with the airline pilots collectively.

In the letter, Captain Imelda Comer offered to be a “conduit” between management and “the pilot body”.

She confirmed that a number of correspondences to the company, which she said management had either ignored or claimed were not from legitimate pilots, had come from the new, interim European Employee Representative Council (EERC) made up of Ryanair pilots from several countries.
