I know quite a few may have already taken their summer hols abroad but it appears Ryan Air intend to cancel between 40-50 flights a day over the next 6 weeks affecting thousands of passengers.

The compensation bill looks to run into millions as people are cancelling and booking elsewhere.

All stems around the fact they've given pilots too much holiday time off in consecutive months and it's messed up their staffing rotas. Coupled to to the fact Swiss air have recruited over a 100 pilots from Ryan Air in the last few weeks and it's left them with little or no pilot cover.

Serves the greedy get right for not paying fare wages. My Daughter was previously cabin crew for them and the stories she had about the way they treated staff has some bearing on this fiasco.

Good luck to anyone trying to sort a flight out with Ryan Air.
