Chief executive Michael O’Leary apologises for rostering error but staff group says they want to ‘stop this ridiculous circus’
Ryanair was branded a “disgrace” by a group of pilots after missing a deadline to respond to their demands for improved employment terms, as the risk of a full-blown labour dispute has now spread to cabin crew.
As discontent among Ryanair staff threatened to boil over, chief executive Michael O’Leary reportedly issued an internal memo apologising for the company’s rostering error, which forced it to cancel up to 50 flights a day, affecting 315,000 passengers.
