In the UK, air traffic control is strongly unionised and it works fine. We havent had industrial action in over 40 years, and the union gets us good pay deals and protects our Ts&Cs. Places like France seems to strike every other week like it's normal, but it's not the concept of unionisation that's specifically the problem.
If the Unions are not specifically the problem, who is? The worker? With my limited disinterest in politics and knowledge in mind; how does the French Air Traffic Control worker weild the legal power to strike, well, via the union... Ergo... The union is in fact the problem, thus the concept is questionable.
@@markmitchell2658 They are so lazy that their country is still one of the richest of the world, they have a high productivity and they have a GDP similar to the UK's one...ignorance is not like cancer, you can cure it.

@@Hellomynameis93 Strictly speaking, “Bolshevik” is “the majority” and is the opposite of “Menshevik” (“minority”). The terms originate in the divisions within the pre revolutionary “Russian Social Democratic Labour Party” of the early 20th c. Lenin was the leader of the hard line revolutionary faction of what had been a party much like many other moderate socialist European “Social Democratic Labour” movements (including eg the British Labour Party). After that faction won a number of (but not all) votes on key doctrinal issues, Lenin’s faction capitalised on that by renaming themselves “the majority” with the inference that anyone who opposed them was in the minority (Mensheviks). It was pretty typical of Lenin’s single minded ruthlessness. The name stuck - deliberately - with the Leninist faction which led the 1917 revolution and which subsequently became the Russian Communist Party. “Bolshevik” was subsequently adopted as a synonym for “Communist” in many western countries - usually pejoratively, perhaps because the foreign, hard edged “Bolshevik” seemed more threatening than “Communist” with its unthreatening association (in most European languages) with words like “community”.

I actually love Ryan Air, I don't understand the hate. They're on time, have new aircraft, cheap AF, staff are fine, they even have good coffee now and I can pay €10 to take 2 bags on the plane. It's also refreshing to see someone being unashamedly capitalist and pro free market. The free market has taken billions of people out of poverty in the last 50 years, not socialism, not unions, not communism. CAPITALISM. People should openly support it more often.

"People like working for us" Oh is that why the average pilot stays with Ryanair for 4 years? Is that why more than 100 pilots recently changed to Norwegian?
haley smith of course he has to care. Right now Ryanair has a pilot shortage and Norwegian already took 100+ pilots from them by offering them a more attractive salary. Ryanair is loosing pilots at a bigger rate than they can hire new ones. You cant expand like that. The people that start working for Ryanair are young pilots who want a typerating and a enough hours so they can apply to other airlines. Once they have that they leave.

Of course not. France is in chaos. Look, how Paris looks like, the streets in the center. Worked in Ryanair Stansted 2005-20010, very efficient management. In my opinion Michael O'Leary should become the Boss of European Parlament, he would rescue EU from complete chaos and dawnfall.
@@celtspeaksgoth7251And in doing so they opened up travel for those who only could dream about foreign vacations before. However, your premise is inaccurate; the glamour was already long gone.
Tax treaties specify that there will be no double taxation. Hence if taxed at the highest rate in ireland the lower tax rate in france will be nulled (credited as paid). Ryanair is scared of unions.....
'People like working for us'. Really? If your employees are anything like your customers they are really only with you because of money/cost and no other reason, Michael.
Seems like: The French want us to emply our people in France and we wont get cheap taxes. Ryanair is all about paying low salaries and low taxes and that is not possible in France. I think that we need a law in Europe that says that the crew must be employed where the aircraft has its base.
Sometimes O'Leary nails it. A shrewd operator & why is he non-union? Well its not the salary. He charges all for training especially when he gets a new fleet. Thats from external to all internal plane crew (Pilots &Cabin Crews). Funnily then all are better trained than most airlines. In running SwineAir he has costs to a minimum. Also he benefitted from French rural towns from paying him to fly tourists to rural areas, attract home owners from overseas & benefit the local economy. Savvy business sense. I do also agree with his point on French Traffic Controllers. This could be avoided if their Airforce with control of the central French Air Corridor opened this for commercial flights when such strikes hit. That he did not say
I have quite a lot of time for Mr O'Leary. However, his claims about low productivity in France are, sadly, completely ignorant nonsense. French workers have very high productivity. Compared to the UK, France could take Friday off every week, and still produce more....
mrnatty122 you nob he pays them better then most airline it’s a good airline you get what you pay for I remember living in the Uk and trying to fly home on holiday would cost you €500 to €800 and that was pound stirring and you got just the same.now I can fly to the uk for about a €9.95 So but take your head out of your ass and look at what he did other wise if he was not there you would be paying lots more to travel even if you don’t travel with his airline it’s because of hem you can fly for a lot less try think about and see can you work it out or at you that stupid lol
"we pay well..." "18 hours per week..." like Hitler, he keeps talking until the other party gives up and agrees to invade poland, france, russia etc...which is preferable to continuing the conversation..like Trump in that respect... Withdrawal of labour is the only way to sort him out..
your view of ww2 is so typical of the propaganda bullshit we have had to put up with for the last 70 years! i suggest you read some REAL history and not bias state approved fairytales!
Wow, pilots are absolutely raking it in for working half the time of the average worker per week. Almost in the top 1% of Irish earners for 19 hours a week of flying, not bad........
So what you want, is the right to axploit your employees, any way you see fit. Unions are not the enemies of companies. They are partners. We do not want Reaganism, or Thatcherism in Europe.
Good manners and politeness costs nothing unfortunately the staff mimic there leader rude and arrogant! They must be desperate to work for this airline & the airline must be desperate to employ such individuals to work for them
yuh don't get the luxury of kindness on a bus do ya so why pay bus money(relatively) and expect them to care about being kind to you. if you dont like them then fly emirates or get your own plane and crew, cause they sure don't care if you like the service or not ryanair only transport passengers from point a to point b. deal with it ya twat
so let's gets this right .. you would have and you would welcome people being able to be resident in France - presumably benefitting from any benefits the French state might offer ( health etc police - u name it ) but the French government doesn't get a penny from them ???? the frogs have got their heads screwed on , it seems we in the UK haven't I know dozens and dozens and dozens of Ryanair cabin crew who live about ten miles from Stansted , small town called bishops Stortford ...i had presumed they were paying UK income tax - but nope it seems...not a penny. again benefiting from the services the UK state offers with out paying a single penny ...Ireland meanwhile takes the lot , no wonder so many Irish politicians love the EU. ..
Cattle truck airline it's ok if your prepared to be treated like cattle. After standing in the open getting soaking wet waiting to get on the plane I hung my rather expensive lightweight jacket on a piece of plastic trim in front of me to dry, an ignorant air steward came along and told me I couldn't hang it there he promptly took it screwed it up and stuffed it in the overhead locker and closed the locker door trapping the sleeve. 😡 Needles to say I was not happy and decided never to travel with this carrier again.
Yes, there are safety standards on a plane, which require all loose objects to be stowed in the overhead compartment. If your feelings were hurt because of that, take your pacifier and go cry to mommy. And I hope you get seriously hurt in the head by a flying jacket next time you are in a serious turbulence. I would really hate to work in a customer service, dealing with the crybabies like you on a daily basis. Boohoo, mean lady took my jacket away because it's dangerous...geez, a five year old is more grown up...
I love that guy. No bollocks, say it how it is. As I ran my business. I worked my staff hard but paid 20% over the odds and has a very efficient business NO wateage
His calculations on Income tax liabilities are wrong ; tax paid in one country is deductible from what is owed in the country of residence. Tax is declared in EU in the country of residence, and income tax is not cumulated between two countries as he says. Certain other taxes may be charged though ....like CSG in france fro example.
Hey mick the marginal rate of tax including Prsi and USC is 52%, I respect you as a business person but please stop spreading misinformation about Irish tax , finally you do not pay top rate tax at 35k.....it would be double that figure for a single paye tax payer
Yeah crap airline worse service and to listen to him you'd think it was the best. Kissed the Blarney Stone from an early age. If he cancels people's holidays in 2019 like he said Ryanair planes should be banned from all UK airports and airspace.
That's not what he's saying at all. He's saying that unless the UK government negotiates access to Open Skies beyond 2019 (without which there will be NO flights between the UK and Europe) from September 2018 (when Ryanair will buy the slots for summer 2019) the airline will HAVE to cancel summer flights. It can't be expected to pay for slots the UK government doesn't have the foresight to protect during the Brexit negotiations.
I very much doubt the world will come to a crashing end and fares will double if Ryan air go elsewhere after Brexit, in fact with his arrogant attitude the world would be a better place without him and his crappy airline
John Boyle I didn't mean they will double as there are other budget airlines like easyjet which operate out of the UK, just that ryanair were the first and really brought down the cost of flights in Europe.
I have flown hundreds of times with Ryanair and close to as often with EasyJet. There is no question Ryanair are better and also significantly cheaper. I was in Copenhagen a few years ago, 3 days before Christmas with EasyJet. There was some snow in England so flights were delayed. At midnight my flight disappeared from the board, there was nobody there from EasyJet. It cost me £2000 to get home, I have never got a penny back. I have had numerous flights with EasyJet delayed from 1 to 5 hours. I have only ever had one Ryanair flight delayed.
Oh, to be honest I am not really eager to see planes piloted by low fuel league participants over my city. Thanks for your fox news style political analysis though
2% of total flights is not much at all. Considering how many flights they actually have, proportionally speaking, they aren't cancelling very many. And if yours is cancelled, they will have another one very shortly before or after, with cheap fares, it's easy to rebook. But idiots like you are incapable of thinking that deeply, and that's a personal, unfixable issue.
We need to minimise flying until the technology is there to avoid the burning of fossil fuels. All the logical business talk in the world won't save the fact that carbon dioxide causes climate change.
Plant life depend on it just look at any roadside verges, climate change is bull s**t remember no trees or plant life then no human life why do you think countries like Africa struggle please educate yourself on Earths nature !
