Travel Firm: Pilots and Job Losses

travel firm: Ryanair at loggerheads with its pilots over pay and benefits wrote to pilots in a number of airports across Europe including Stansted, Manchester and Dublin on Tuesday, encouraging them to take unpaid leave lasting up to 12 months, or to apply for a job in a base with vacancies, according to The Independent. With yesterday's collapse of Thomas Cook with the loss of 9,000 jobs in the UK and potentially a further 13,000 jobs across Europe, we hope that there will be sufficient applications for unpaid leave/part-time, so we do not have to resort to job losses, state the memos seen by The Independent. The airline is urging its pilots to go on unpaid leave or transfer to other bases to avoid redundancies of the kind that have resulted from the travel firm's collapse.
