97% of flights that operated, how many were cancelled?!

[albert3591] 23/8/2019 09:35

People on the other3% won’t be happy.

Pilot strike flopped, pilots drafted in, 97% of flights left on time.

[time_traveller] 22/8/2019 19:00

Irish strikes blocked in high court, UK strikes fell flat in the UK, with more or less all flights operating and on time - Ryanair looking stronger than ever, and unions looking weaker than ever.

From their website just now...THU 22 & FRI 23 UK FLIGHTS TO OPERATE AS SCHEDULED21 Aug 2019 • 20:46Ryanair regrets the decision by less than 30% of our highly paid UK pilots to vote for strikes on Thurs 22nd & Fri 23rd August, in support of unreasonable pay demands that Captains pay be DOUBLED from a current £170,000 p.a. to over £375,700 p.a., just 9 weeks before BREXIT, which could severely damage Ryanair's business and UK pilot jobs.Ryanair applied today to the London High Court for an injunction to prevent this unjustified strike by a small number of pilots going ahead during the last week of the UK school holidays. However thanks to the great work and volunteerism of the vast majority of our UK based pilots, Ryanair now expects to operate its full schedule of flights to/from our UK airports on Thurs 22nd and Fri 23rd. We do not expect significant disruptions on Thurs or Friday, however we cannot rule out some small flight delays and/or flight changes. We are working hard with our pilot teams to minimise any such delays for our customers and their families.All passengers scheduled to travel on flights to/from UK airports on Thurs 22nd & Fri 23rd Aug should arrive at their departure airport as normal and they can expect their scheduled Ryanair flight to depart on time.We sincerely thank the vast majority of our UK based pilots for volunteering to fly on Thurs & Fri so that we can minimise disruptions to our customers and their families during the last week of the school holidays. We again call on the BALPA union and this small minority of UK pilots to return to Mediation, as they are required to under our Recognition Agreement. British pilots earning six figure annual salaries should not be threatening the holiday flights of thousands of British passengers and their families (very few of whom earn over £170,000 p.a.).

If the Spanish strikes go ahead could have serious consequences they are currently planning 10 strikes throughout September on the 1, 2, 6, 8, 13, 15, 20, 22, 27 and 28.

He needs to get this sorted or people will just not feel confident to book with them in future.

May also be worth noting on RYA - lack of any BOD buying atm.

[essentialinvestor] 20/8/2019 11:32

Monty, like it as an investment I'm guessing you mean,
never flown RYA.

It's a cluster of negatives atm, which only get worse on a no deal exit (increasingly likely) and
worse still if the Max does not return to service. Longer term - lowest cost operator in an expanding sector. IAG - reliance on business class travel is a main factor for not holding any.

Why do you like Ryanair over IAG, to me its a no brainer IAG.

[gimmethefax] 19/8/2019 13:27

At a decent price too.

[bonovox4] 19/8/2019 12:47

They bought back nearly 2.5M shares last Friday.

[gimmethefax] 19/8/2019 12:28

Should pay off very nicely in a few years from now.

[essentialinvestor] 17/8/2019 11:20

Added yesterday and Thursday.

[essentialinvestor] 16/8/2019 12:28

Irish, UK and Spanish strikes appear to be hitting at peak season.


How long before the next guidance cut?.

[essentialinvestor] 14/8/2019 14:20

Spanish strikes now.

[essentialinvestor] 13/8/2019 15:46

Gimme, nice way to look at it.
Would prefer lower tbh.

[essentialinvestor] 13/8/2019 15:18

Apologies - 8.90.


Ryanair Holdings plc (the "Company") today announces that on 09 August 2019 it purchased for cancellation a total of 1,546,410 ordinary shares of nominal value EUR0.006 each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares")

[bonovox4] 13/8/2019 15:16

EssentialInvestor - 9.90 last week? Bought back 1.5 million shares last Friday??

[gimmethefax] 13/8/2019 14:46

I bought a little at €8.90 yesterday.
Will not purchase any more until/if reaches ~€8 or below.

Therefore, I do not mind which direction the share price goes for the near term. A somewhat relaxing feeling.

[essentialinvestor] 13/8/2019 12:25

Around 9.90 was last week's low. They bought back 1.5 million shares on Friday.

Re Difference..RYA have the lowest cost base and ruthlessly pursue profit which they achieve year after year.EZJ have been in and out.Check out the growth chart over the last ten years.RYA is of course a fair bit bigger as well and have a different business model.They are working for shareholders.EZJ has a very big shareholder in Stelios and family which on occasions affect policy decisions.

Easyjet have been forced to clone themselves on Ryanair

they would have disappeared a long time ago, had they not

[spob] 13/8/2019 11:22

very little difference between RYA and EZJ

except RYA is cheaper most of the time

[waspfactory] 13/8/2019 09:50

It's the general attitude towards the passengers in my experience Bonovox. Jet 2 and to some extent Easyjet, make you feel like they actually want you to enjoy the flight and are pleased that you chose to fly with them - particularly Jet2, they really try hard. However, a big plus for Ryanair is they are cheaper and generally get you there on time!
