Pilots union is ‘sitting on its hands’ while passengers disrupted, Ryanair says

Ryanair has accused a pilots union of “sitting on its hands” for more than two days while thousands of passengers have their holiday plans disrupted.

As the airline’s directly-employed pilots, members of Fórsa trade union, yesterday picketed outside the airline’s offices in Swords in a second one-day stoppage, Ryanair was making contingency arrangements for a third stoppage on Tuesday.
