Ryanair, the Irish-based budget airline which has made a success out of treating passengers like milk cows have landed themselves in a shedload of trouble by cancelling hundreds of flights summarily, costing over 300,000 agitated travellers and holiday makers money and gross inconvenience. The excuse is a muddle in pilots’ rotas but industry insiders say it’s more to do with Ryanair working conditions leading to an exit of pilots. They’ll be forced to foot a bill of £18 million in compensation.
Michael O’Leary, the loud-mouthed chairman, is concerned about the effect of Brexit with the possibility of EU countries withdrawing permission for UK planes to land; and saying he’d have to move his business entirely onto the continent.
Ryanair, 5 July 1985, is seriously stuck this year with tr Pluto opposing Mars, returning exact from mid October ( though perhaps exactyl now into October if a 12 am start time). With a nervy tr Neptune square Uranus in 2017/18; also major upheaval and disruptions from tr Uranus opposition Pluto through 2018; and a panicky tr Saturn conjunct Neptune over this New Year. There will be a massive jolt of insecurity in 2019 with Solar Arc Uranus opposition Mars, so he could be right.
Born 20 March 1961, Dublin, he’s either a final degree Pisces Sun or Aries; with his Mercury in Pisces in an intensely-opinionated opposition to Pluto and an argumentative trine to an excitable Mars in Cancer. He looks to be facing a sharp-reality check this December with the discouraging tr Saturn square his Sun; will be jolted and jangled through 2018; and looks seriously panicked by 2019 with his Solar Arc Neptune opposition his Mars.
Any update?
He had a real go at Richard Branson this past week.
Thank you Marjorie if you comment.
I don’t get the impression anyone much cares about his airline’s future.
I feel sorry for the workers but I do believe Michael O’Leary to be arrogant in the way he’s run the business with scant regard for workers and their rights. What other airline expects workers to pay for their own uniform! Karma, methinks.
Definitely karma! I know cabin crew members who started with Ryanair 10-12 years ago, everybody left the company as soon as they could, and nobody has anything positive to say about the company. There is also a pilot shortage in Europe right now. I don’t know how exactly did this happen, maybe due to decreased training in financial crisis years. But Ryanair Pilots do have options.
