The oldest argument rolls forward, Apart from your sarcasm what point are you trying to make,
If this were Dublin Bus cancelling a whole pile of bus routes because it had messed up on the annual leave, I, for one, would certainly be calling for its replacement by private sector bus companies.
The second point is that it appears that pilots across Europe are acting in unison, in a co-ordinated united front against a diluting of their terms and conditions of work.
No - they are acting as a monopoly trying to get more money.
In the absence of structured and transparent mechanism for staff to lay claim to, what they perceive, fair pay for fair work, this is the outcome.
No. Let the market decide, yet again we are looking at putting in structures that lead to inefficiencies.OK, so would you be ok with all the airlines getting together and agreeing a maximum salary for what they determine to be fair pay for fair work?

It is Ryanair shareholders who suffer this market punishment, they have the power to dismiss Ryanair management. Where Public servants mess up their customers have no such power to dismiss them. Voters have the much less power to not reelect the political masters of public servants, at the next election, when every other aspect of governing the country has to be considered as well.
A public transport company has cancelled hundreds of scheduled journeys bought and paid for by the hard-pressed taxpayer and consumer.
Inconveniencing thousands of passengers due to a complete mismanagement of schedules and staffing, staff across Europe have taken a stand against a diluting of their terms and conditions of employment. Senior management have confirmed no heads will roll after this shambles and the blame rests with the CEO who won't be resigning.
Typical public sector.
Meanwhile in the private sector....
Firstly, the Ryanair fiasco must have made you whole week. I'd say you are weak at the knees with excitement.
Why? Ryanair is a great company
The passengers can get compensation. Not so when the public sector cancels services.
The passengers can fly with someone else. Not so when the public sector cancels services.
The taxpayer has not had to foot the bill. Not so when the public sector cancels services.
Happened this week in Navan as Bus Eireann made a complete hames of their restructuring of the disastrous 109 Cavan-Dublin bus service - a service that takes more than double the time of the same journey by car.

The owners of a company get the profits and foot the bills for the errors. I don't think it makes any difference whether it's privately owned or publicly owned?

Except the BE staff didn't take a stand as they don't care a fiddlers about their passengers. So nearly nobody outside those directly affected even knows about it.
Typical public sector.
There is a different attitude to public/private sector worker's when things go wrong.
