Letter sent to IAA today for action.Never mind ryanairs Law IAA,your the law in the air,so act now.It is your duty to protect all ryanair crew and the general public..
Dear Claire O' Donoghue,
My name is John Foley. I run a website and blog for Ryanair cabin crew and families which deals with cases where cabin crew employment is terminated in an unjust, unfair or illegal way by Ryanair.
As a result I am sent information anonymously by cabin crew who do not wish to be identified. Some information appears to me to be relevant to the IAA.
A source from Dublin has just informed me that crew unfortunate enough to be put on airport standby before Christmas were obliged to SELL "Charity Calendars" in the departures lounge and at baggage drop desks. My source knows someone who was sent to the departures area for 3 hours and while there tried to sell calendars. Cabin crew who did this did so because they believed that to refuse would mean that their employment was at risk. They didn’t just sell calendars, they also sold their dignity!
The example given to me was of a cabin crew member who was called back to do a flight of more than 2h. So instead of the £30 for airport standby the pay was less and all the selling done in the terminal was done for free as there is no pay for work other than flights. This is another example of Ryanairs exploitation. of cabin crew, practices that will be denied but actually go on.
No cabin crew in Ryanair would dream of pointing out to Ryanair what the rules are because it would make no difference and it would “mark” them for trouble. I bet you that Ryanair would say that only volunteers did this selling.We all know about “volunteering” in Ryanair. Here is what YOUR regulations say about standby:
1.15.8.1.5 While on airport standby Ryanair shall provide to the crew member a quiet and comfortable place not open to the public.
We know from pilot sources that the IAA does not deal with issues like this when they involve Ryanair, but I think you should be told and acted upon by the IAA.
Also as a security issue, terminated probationary Ryanair cabin crew are told verbally by Ryanair supervisors, if uniforms and airport ID cards are not returned the full amount for this Ryanair cabin crew uniform, will be taken from their last months salary.
Many terminated prcc are not returning these items which in effect, in the wrong hands could breach airport security, not only in Ireland but all over Europe.
Our campaign has access to 4 Ryanair uniforms and 2 airport ID cards. We at ryanairdontcare feel it is the duty of the IAA to act on this information, firstly to ensure the return of all these items and secondly Ryanair should be accountable for not holding termination details of uniform and ID cards in the public domain. Thank you for your time.
I wait your reply.
John Foley

So Paddy from the IAA has a concern that members of the public may be misled in to thinking this blog is endorsed by the IAA. Let me firmly put that notion to rest.
ReplyDeleteIn Aug. 2010 the IAA (after mush pressure within the industry) offered a safety survey to members of the industry see.. http://www.iaa.ie/safety-culture.jsp
7 months later and nothing has been published and no feedback has been provided good OR bad.
I am aware of communications with Claire O'Donoghue (IAA Director) and she has done what she does best which is to stall any progress on this by trying to remove the anonymity of the survey. The CEO Mr. Eamon Brennan does what he does best which is http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4161/is_20040606/ai_n12895825/
This is the IAA and what they are all about.
So perhaps Paddy should do what Paddy is paid to do which is to do the right thing and stop obsessing anout the damaged reputation of the IAA.
So John.
Keep up the good work.
Lets throw down the gauntlet to the IAA and challenge them to take action to try and close this blog.
lets see who has the most to lose.
will do Mike and i took up the challenge and www.irishaviationauthority.com live in 48 hours.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy IAA......
