Re: Ryanair in 2018
Just read a tweet from Mr Peter Bellew apologising for this "lack of accomodation". So definitely NOT staged....

Re: Ryanair in 2018
The scene could be staged, but it is a fact Ryanair does not work with hotels. Their crews don't know anything and are just as stranded as their passengers... So the "picture" is 100% correct.

Not staged at all. Ryanair's crew management in one picture that is.Bracebrace wrote: ↑15 Oct 2018, 11:48 The scene could be staged, but it is a fact Ryanair does not work with hotels. Their crews don't know anything and are just as stranded as their passengers... So the "picture" is 100% correct.
Re: Ryanair in 2018
You are right, the crews finally didn't get access to the VIP lounge as that lounge was simply closed. Alex Marcheras, aviation journalist discovered.
Read more: https://www.aviation24.be/airlines/ryan ... ort-floor/I’ve spoken to the ‘SALA VIP’ lounge at Malaga Airport, the only lounge in the terminal, who confirmed no crew from any airline entered the lounge, and not only described it as “against lounge policy” but added “it’s also impossible, as our lounge closes at 23:00 each night, and this was the case on the night of flight disruption caused by the storms
Re: Ryanair in 2018
Still if crews are unable to book a hotel themselves (off season - there are plenty) and to get to it, maybe they are not qualified (read too stupid) to work at all at any job. They are adults, they should be able to look after themselves at least a tiny bit and be able to find a bed.
This is not say Ryanair are not to blame, they definitely are.

Re: Ryanair in 2018
You didn't understand the remark. Booking a room is not the problem. Getting info on "if" your rest is going to start in the first place, "when" your rest starts and "when" your rest ends is the problem. Crews don't even know when they can get something to eat. Ryanair doesn't care, they leave their own crews completely in the dark, so they usually spend hours and hours waiting and waiting close or in the aircraft in these cases.loginas wrote: ↑15 Oct 2018, 15:10Still if crews are unable to book a hotel themselves (off season - there are plenty) and to get to it, maybe they are not qualified (read too stupid) to work at all at any job.

Business Insider Poland: "...Kontrola inspektorów pracy w Ryanair Sun. Badają spółkę, która ma przejąć rejsowe loty..." Google Translate says this means: "...Inspection of labor inspectors at Ryanair Sun. They are investigating a company that is to take over scheduled flights..."

That seems so logical. Poland is just a country where people need low cost flights, and Ryanair goes there...

Ryanair will close its base in Ibiza during winter 2018/19, due to the airline not operating under Spanish labour law.

Re: Ryanair in 2018
That's not how crewing/operations work. Legally they can't do that as they wouldn't be covered by insurance in the first place, secondly they wouldn't know what their sign off time and sign on time would be to comply with EASA's FTL scheme. Your post doesn't make sense.loginas wrote: ↑15 Oct 2018, 15:10 Still if crews are unable to book a hotel themselves (off season - there are plenty) and to get to it, maybe they are not qualified (read too stupid) to work at all at any job.

PRESS RELEASE
Following the publication of a photo on social media, which became viral achieving hundreds of views across the world, SNPVAC would like to clarify that the photo illustrates what happened on Saturday night, 13th October, when 4 Ryanair flights having Porto as their destination were diverted due to the tropical thunderstorm ‘Leslie’ that caused the Porto airport to close operations for a few hours.
The airport chosen by Ryanair for those 4 aircraft to land was Malaga.
Upon arrival to Malaga airport, the 24 crew (8 pilots and 16 cabin crew) were placed in a room, without the minimum rest facilities, where the Crew that are based on that airport perform their briefings and where Ryanair has their Malaga offices.
The 24 crew members were there since 01h30 until 06:00 (local time) without access to food, drinks and even a place to sit down, as there were only 8 seats available for the 24 crew.
They had no other choice, as the photo illustrates, than to attempt to rest on the room’s floor.
Around 06h00 the 24 Crew members were placed in the airport lounge, where they stayed for more than 4 hours but still with no access to food or drinks.
We point out that, in these situations, it is the legal responsibility of the Airline to provide suitable accommodation, namely a hotel room, so that crew can perform their rest under the national and European legal requirements, in order to be able to operate the following duty safely.
At 13h35 (local) Ryanair decided to perform a non-commercial flight (without passengers but with all 24 crew members on board) to Porto, where it landed at 13h40 (Portuguese time), over 24 hours after the original report time, without any adequate rest.
It is regrettable and inconceivable that, in the 21st century, we observe this kind of events where we can verify that Ryanair operates without any respect for their employees and their customers, who were also left stranded in the airport terminal, in the highly regulated aviation sector.
SNPVAC will produce a formal complaint to all the relevant civil aviation authorities and we expect an urgent and robust intervention so that events like this won’t happen again.
This episode also demonstrates the reasons that took the workers in Ryanair to an industrial dispute and, if there were any doubts, everyone can witness the way Ryanair treats their customers and employees.

No but I have children
Re: Ryanair in 2018
Staged photo after all? Anyway, the video shows that there were only 8 seats for 24 crew in the crew room. Enough for a whole night?

Re: Ryanair in 2018
The proof is there: the photo is staged. Faked. Falsified (as webmaster Luchtzak stated in his first reaction). You just have to watch the full 1,5 minutes to see that those "sleeping" crew members were seated, then standed up, walked to that corner, lied on the floor, got up 15-20 seconds later when the photo was taken, and walked back to their seats. You can even see that the one guy who took the photo, gave that smartphone back to the crew member walking back to his seat.sean1982 wrote: ↑15 Oct 2018, 13:29Not staged at all.

Apart from that, I agree - it's Ryanair's crew management. It's a scandal that no hotel was offered to the crew and to the passengers indeed. It's low season now in Malaga, plenty of rooms available (even at beachfront). Even when flights to Portugal are grounded.
Re: Ryanair in 2018
Well it’s not fake is it? They still had to spend tbe night in a room with no facilities ... FR doesn’t even try and contest the fact they didn’t provide the accommodation they legally needed to! This tweet makes it even worse!
Re: Ryanair in 2018
Staged ... but spending the entire night in that crewroom until 06:00 am. Then they got access to the lounge, without permission to take food or drinks ....
Enough hotels around Malaga available though ...
I would have staged anything in this case
