rudds1 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 It says on their website if you don't hear your flight is to be cancelled then take it your flight is unaffected but I would ring and ask to be safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey Shaw Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I've already received an opportunist's spam e-mail, suggesting that he sell me random Ryanair flight tickets in the hope that one or more will be cancelled and that the statutory refund will exceed the flights' cost @ £9.99 each!

muddycoffee Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Listening to the radio all day and correspondence from anonymous pilots that have worked for Ryanair. It sounds like the cause of this issue is the terrible terms and conditions of the Ryanair flight crew have led to hundreds of them leaving over the last year causing a serious shortage of pilots. Apparently there is a global shortage of pilots anyhow and in the future companies like Ryanair are going to have to improve their terms and conditions otherwise they won't be able to cover all their routes.

ukdobby Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Total shambles,a company who can't run a holiday rota? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMorris Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Total shambles,a company who can't run a holiday rota? As someone above alluded to, I think there's far more to this than meets the eye. Even if someone had screwed up the holiday rota, wouldn't it make sense to cajole the pilots with monetary incentives, and perhaps time off in lieu to work their holidays? Seems to me it would be far cheaper than cancelling flights, losing customers and paying compensation. Not to mention adverse publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
