Ryanair pilots form new union to negotiate pay and conditions
18/10/2004 - 07:57:21

Ryanair pilots have reportedly formed a new trade union to represent their interests, despite the fact that the Irish airline normally refuses to recognise such organisations.

Reports this morning said the Ryanair European Pilots Association would represent at least 85% of the companies’ 500 pilots, who work at 11 bases throughout the continent.

The union will reportedly concentrate on technical and safety issues, but is also expected to seek a role in the negotiation of new pilots’ contracts in 2005.

Ryanair pilots are reportedly unhappy with the current system of negotiating pay and conditions and REPA was established to address these and other concerns.

Sub-standard pay scale at low-cost carriers are breeding ground for that kind of stuff.

With your logic, that Union certification vote should be in any day now at WestJet.
