Due to the fact that many visits to this blog over the last few weeks are googling Ryanair cabin crew contract, showing young people are going to the internet for transparency which Ryanair's shell companies Crewlink and Workforce International are guilty of misleading claims.You can view the probationary Ryanair cabin crew contract below. http://ryanairdontcarecrew.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/ryanair-cabin-crew-contract-for-new.html
A few important points which are not explain in this contract are posted below.The wording Seasonal Cabin Crew is used to offer you a nine month period of employment with three months not paid.
1, The wording fixed term contract means new recruits are believing they are contracted to this job for a time period From commence on «Online_Date» ("the Commencement Date") and will end no later than «Contract_End_Date»....john said,
This is simple NOT true.New recruits can and will be TERMINATED to suit the company.Termination rate of new recruited Ryanair cabin crew is calculated on the amount of people Crewlink and Dalmac recruit.The more they recruit the more will be TERMINATED.Ryanair's Crew control will alter your roster patterns which contributes to you being late for your shift,NO Show and sickness days added.
2, If during the probationary period the company is dissatisfied with your performance or conduct, your employment may be terminated by the company giving you the statutory notice period or payment in lieu thereof.....john said,Performance is very important here which relates to your on board sales,No shows and sick days which can be added by Ryanair's crew control.
3, Your main responsibilities will include: passenger safety, assistance and control; boarding and ground duties.....john said,This is not true,your main duty responsibility on board Ryanair is on board sales.
4,Flight pay will be paid one month in arrears and directly
into your bank account......john said,Ryanair insist you open a Bank of Ireland bank account(not include UK) so your monthly salary is paid into.The reason being once you are TERMINATED your bank account will be frozen by Bank of Ireland and your last months salary will be targeted by Ryanair's shell companies Crewlink Ireland and Workforce International.Ryanair work closely with Bank of Ireland and target new recruits PAYE payments at the 40% higher rate..
5,Flight pay is calculated on scheduled block hour basis, and includes a premium for all hours associated with flight duty; including but not limited to pre and post flight reporting, delays and all on-board duties....john said,This means you are only PAID when the aircraft in air born.Cleaning the aircraft, turn around time,checking passengers at gates,loading passengers on board and any delays you are NOT paid.
6, The Bonus is non contractual in status and is not intended to be
incorporated into your contract.Once notice to terminate employment has been given by either you or the Company, you will not from that date be
entitled to receive any payment of Sales Bonus for in-flight sales whatsoever. For the avoidance of doubt this includes any accrued but unpaid Sales Bonus due at the date notice to terminate has been given...john said,Your on board sales bonus payment of 10% is tallied by the No1 on board each flight and paid monthly with NO paper calculation given to new recruits.So no transparency involved.Once TERMINATION is given any on board sales bonus you earned will be KEPT by Ryanair's Crewlink and Workforce International. 7, STANDBY DAYS,
Seasonal Cabin Crew will be required to work a number of “Stand By Day” per month, whereby they must be available to work within one hour of being called. If called to work remuneration will be in way of the standard scheduled block....john said, if your not called you are NOT paid.This could happen up to three times in one week. Standby days in uniform at the airport could be a 10 hour shift which if your not used to fly you will check in passengers,baggage checking selling of travel tickets etc.All your paid to do the above is €3 per hour YES only €3 per hour....
''YOU STILL WANT TO WORK AT RYANAIR'' EUROPE'S GREATEST EXPLOITER OF YOUNG CABIN CREW.
As you can see below edreams have paid Google to place an advert on the first page of Ryanair on google.Ryanair are very concerned but not for the reasons Ryanair are telling you.Ryanair believe this post below is misleading which is NOT true.It is clear edreams are running this site.Take a look at the edreams selling Easyjet flights http://www.edreams.co.uk/flights/airline/U2/easyjet/?mktportal=google&gclid=COLQvavxusgCFaEfwwodHPkA9w eDreams is perfectly entitled to sell Ryanair tickets, and the tickets
of other airlines providing customers with much-needed choice and
variety to the flight distribution market.What Ryanair don't like is the fact that under their subsidy contracts with airports and cities Ryanair are paid on the numbers of passengers numbers they bring to these cities and edreams are taking a chunk of these profits.That is business Mr O'Leary which is great for the customer but NOT for your subsidy payment.
At least edreams are giving their employees REAL contracts of employment as Ryanair contracts of their cabin crew are done through a SHELL company Crewlink Ireland who continue to exploit their cabin crew workforce...
Wednesday the 23rd September Ryanairdontcare Campaign founder John Foley set off from Liverpool to Dublin like he does this time every year for the past five, to protest outside the Ryanair Annual General Meeting with regards to Ryanair's recruitment and high termination rate of young probationary cabin crew all paying up to £3000 to train.A bus and ferry crossing to Dublin is the chosen route which takes eight hours.
What was very pleasing this year was the fact that Ryanair had changed the location of the AGM from their new head office in swords to the radisson hotel at Dublin airport.
This change of location must have cost Ryanair a tidy sum which is great news.
In 2014 Ryanair left their old head office at Dublin airport for the new Ryanair head office in swords which was a great setting and saved Ryanair a tidy sum of money in 2014 but not in 2015 as Michael O'Leary thought.

Protest Videos below outside the RyanairAGM in 2014 at their new office.
2014 was a great year for Ryanairdontcare Campaign.It was the first time a peaceful protest was allowed to take place outside of Ryanair's head office as the AGM took place inside.Ryanair would always use the radisson hotel at Dublin airport and it benefited Ryanair because protests are not allowed in any part of the airport under a by-law.Soon as the airport police are called you have to leave or face arrest, which gives you not even enough time to get your banners out.See the 2010 Ryanair AGM protest at the radisson hotel main entrance below.
So in 2014 outside the new Ryanair AGM in swords the airport by-law could not be used so Ryanair employed many guards to keep Ryanairdontcare Campaign away from the main entrance which failed miserable.See videos above.
Ryanair called the Garda (Irish police) who told them to leave me alone and i could continue my peaceful protest.The BBC twitted our protest that day plus a camera man did a 30 minute interview outside.Ryanair's David Bonderman and Michael O'Leary were not very happy to see this protest being one of the best publicised in recent years.
In 2015 Ryanair decided to change the location of their AGM back to the radisson hotel because of the by-law stopping protests at the airport from taking place,which failed miserable yet again..As i arrived at the AGM around 8,30am on 24th September 2015 i was greeted by a Ryanair manager and Two Ryanair security guards, one of which assaulted me twice before, once being a serious assault which he was never charged with instead i was arrested by the Garda (Irish police) released with no charges two hours later. Video below showing start of protest at Ryanair AGM 2015. Sorry for the bad language but this Ryanair security guard with his mate has assaulted me twice before at Ryanair AGM protests with one being a serious assault.
I was also approached by two Garda detectives (Irish police) and one airport police officer who talked to the Ryanair manager and his security guards and told me they had ask them to stay away from me and i was allowed to continue this peaceful protest outside the Ryanair AGM.It was a total shock that both sets of police agreed to let me continue this protest.You should have seen the face of the Ryanair manager and his security guards.(great sight)..The protest went on for 90 minutes and a share holder came outside to talk with me.He informed me that he had asked a question inside the AGM meeting, why was the very same protester for five years still protesting outside..BLOODY GREAT NEWS,after six years of campaigning in was talked about at the Ryanair AGM.

Second protest of the day was back at the new Ryanair head office in Swords.I was there for four hours and Michael O'Leary passed by without saying hello..
Ryanair manager greeting me.Decent guy just doing what he is told by Mr O'Leary.
If you know the name of this Ryanair employee below please comment anonymously below.Thank you.

The last 12 months has been a great year for Ryanairdontcare Campaign's blog www.ryanairdontcarecrew.blogspot.com which has been viewed 1,3 million times
helping young people to see the exploitation involved at Ryanair in their cabin crew recruitment.Ryanair through their shell company Crewlink Ireland have stepped up recruitment days in Europe with 43 taking place in July 2015.I would hope these increased recruitment days are a way in showing cabin crew recruitment levels at Ryanair are down.Campaign and protests will continue Mr O'Leary ''doomed to fail''...

On 20th June 2015 the British Daily Mirror run a story which was a third of a page with the headline Ryanairunfair which was a reference to this blog Ryanairdontcare.
The story was taken from this blog and spun by the Daily Mirror.I talked about this to the Ryanair manager in the video about,he commented that i was doing the work for the paper, any publicity is good publicity Mr O'Leary you know that..
Daily mirror report below. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/ryanair-plane-unfair-charity-lotto-5920749
RYANAIR'S DARRELL HUGHES Deputy Director of Personnel is a SCUM BAG.
Darrell Hughes has got blood on his hands regarding the treatment of Ryanair Pilot Mr Paul Ridgard. Hughes 10 years at Ryanair has seen him amused by his humiliating of Ryanair crew for personal satisfaction. Bullying
of others gives him a sense of empowerment. There clearly is a element of
personal satisfaction in his acts of intimidation of those who are powerless in the Ryanair system.
Real Important Pilot at Ryanair Mr Paul Ridgard
Ryanair Have Blood On Their Hands
John said,
Have not forgot about you Scum Bag Darrell Hughes...
Ryanair being tracked on this blog 32 times since the AGM protest at the Radisson Hotel in Dublin on Thursday 24th September 2015..They are waiting for my report of this protest which was a complete success.The delay in my report is due to family commitments.A full report of this protest will be on this blog in days.
