After 40 years of service, a flight captain said goodbye to his retirement with an unequivocal address about his last employer, the Austrian Ryanair subsidiary Lauda. His words were followed by great applause from the passengers, because he made no secret of the fact that the Düsseldorf employees are likely to be very dissatisfied with their employer.

The mood at the Lauda base in Düsseldorf is likely to be on the ground anyway, given the fact that the last flights will take place on October 19, 2020, all employees have already received their terminations and a veritable flood of lawsuits are pending before the local courts. A captain retiring after 40 years of service found clear and frank words about the Ryanair Group's approach. The employer treats the staff in part with inhumanity, can be heard in an audio file that passengers have sent to Aviation Direct. The travelers applauded clearly audible after the announcement of the retiring pilot. The subsequent farewell announcement from the cabin, which was also recorded by passengers, also resulted in great applause.

The clear words of the now retired Lauda captain can be heard here in the original sound.

    You can only say thank you Niki! That you built the airline for and to this privateer group called Ryanair according to your order and then sold it. Labor law and employee participation were a horror for you. Sold to Mr. o Leary. He runs cross-border social cuts on a large scale and with the help of an army of lawyers. All of this with the tolerance and support of the EU Commission and some countries such as Malta and Ireland. This approach of such entrepreneurs, the irresponsibility of the EU Commission and these states ensure that a large number of young and older people ask what the advantage of an EU is for them. Social cuts, deregulation, wage dumping and exploitation are not. Only when a serious rethinking begins here will workers be able to see Europe positively again.

    And since everyone knows this in principle, and the plane is still not empty, the common passenger with the “cheaper temporary workers” probably only has “oh, even cheaper tickets! :)))" Roger that…
