Dublin/Berlin, 27. September 2018. Ryanair hat heute den unnötigen Pilotenstreik für den 28. September verurteilt, der von der von Lufthansa kontrollierten Gewerkschaft Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) ausgerufen. Die VC behauptet, dass die Streikhandlung ausgerufen wurde, um einen Tarifvertrag zu Gehältern (VTV) und Allgemeinen Bedingungen (NTV) für Piloten in Deutschland zu verhandeln.
Ryanair hat jedoch eine Kopie des Schreibens veröffentlicht, das gestern am 26. September auf Wunsch der VC an den Leiter der Vereinigung geschickt wurde, nachdem am 25. September in Frankfurt 7 Stunden lang Verhandlungen stattgefunden hatten.
In diesem Schreiben hält Ryanair folgendes fest:
– Einigung auf ein Schlichtungsverfahren mit der VC in Deutschland
– Einigung auf einen geeigneten Schlichter innerhalb der nächsten 7 Tage (VC hatte 14 Tage vorgeschlagen
– Vorschlag für ein 4 oder 5-wöchiges Schlichtungsverfahren (ähnlich dem in Irland); VC hatte 5 Monate vorgeschlagen
– Einladung der VC zu einem Treffen in Dublin, um diese Vereinbarungen nächsten Donnerstag, den 4. Oktober, abzuschließen.
Peter Bellew, Chief Operations Officer von Ryanair, sagte dazu:
„Es ist zutiefst enttäuschend, dass einige unserer Kunden und unsere Mitarbeiter in Deutschland morgen durch einen unnötigen, kurzzeitig von der von Lufthansa kontrollierten VC ausgerufenen Streik ihre Flüge gestört haben werden. Dies ist ein weiteres Beispiel dafür, dass bei Ryanair ein Streik von einer Gewerkschaft organisiert wird, die von Mitarbeitern konkurrierender Fluggesellschaften kontrolliert wird, obwohl Ryanair einem Schlichtungsverfahren zugestimmt hat, und zwar in einem viel schnelleren Zeitraum (bis 4/5 Wochen), als von der VC angestrebten 5 Monate.
Nachdem ich über 7 Stunden in direkten Verhandlungen mit der VC in Frankfurt am Main am Dienstag verbracht und ihnen innerhalb von 24 Stunden eine schriftliche Zustimmung zu ihren Forderungen gegeben habe, ist es zutiefst bedauerlich, dass die VC innerhalb von 5 Stunden nach Erhalt unseres Schreibens einen weiteren unnötigen Streik ausruft.
Dieser von der VC organisierte Streik, der von den Ryanair-Piloten oder dem Kabinenpersonal in Deutschland in keinem großen Ausmaß unterstützt wird, zeigt, dass selbst, wenn Ryanair in diesen Gewerkschaftsverhandlungen echte und substanzielle Verpflichtungen eingeht, sie zugunsten wiederholter Streiks ignoriert werden.
Es ist unerklärlich, dass die Gewerkschaft Vereinigung Cockpit nicht erklären kann, warum sie einen Streik ausruft, um einen Tarifvertrag zu vereinbaren, obwohl Ryanair bereits schriftlich einem Schlichtungsverfahren in Deutschland zugestimmt hat, das bis Ende Oktober zugunsten unserer Piloten in Deutschland einen deutschen Tarifvertrag hervorbringen wird.
Ryanair hat an alle seine Piloten, die in Deutschland stationiert sind, geschrieben und sie in die schriftliche Korrespondenz mit der Vereinigung Cockpit einkopiert. Wir werden sie bitten, morgen wie gewohnt zu arbeiten, um Störungen und Unannehmlichkeiten für unsere deutschen Kunden zu minimieren.“
Ryanair today (27 Sept) condemned the unnecessary pilot strike called by the Lufthansa controlled VC Union for Fri 28th Sept. The VC claims that this strike action is called to establish a CLA regarding pay (VTV), and terms and conditions (MTV) for pilots in Germany.
However, Ryanair released a copy of a letter sent to the Head of the VC Union yesterday (26th Sept) at the VC’s request following 7 hours of negotiations that took place in Frankfurt on 25th Sept. In this letter, Ryanair:
– Agreed to arbitration with the VC Union in Germany;
– Agreed to an acceptable arbitrator within 7 days, whereas the VC wanted 14 days;
– Suggested a 4 or 5 week arbitration (similar to that in Ireland), whereas the VC proposed 5 months; and
– Invited the VC to meet in Dublin to finalise these agreements next Thurs 4th
Ryanair’s Chief Operations Officer Peter Bellew said:
“It is deeply disappointing that some of our customers and our people in Germany tomorrow will have their flights disrupted by an unnecessary strike called at short notice by the Lufthansa controlled VC Union. This is another example of a strike being organised in Ryanair by association by a union controlled by competitor airline employees, despite the fact that Ryanair has agreed to arbitration, and at a much faster period of implementation (4/5 weeks) than the 5 months being sought by the VC Union.
Having spent over 7 hours in direct negotiations with the VC in Frankfurt on Tues, and having provided them with written agreement to their demands within 24 hours, it is deeply regrettable that the VC call another unnecessary strike within 5 hours of receiving our letter.
This VC organised strike, which will not be well supported by Ryanair pilots or cabin crew in Germany, shows that even when Ryanair makes real and substantial commitments in these union negotiations, they are ignored in favour of repeated strikes.
It is inexplicable that the VC Union cannot explain why they are calling a strike to agree a CLA when Ryanair has already agreed in writing to arbitration in Germany, which will complete a German CLA by the end of October for the benefit of our pilots in Germany.
Ryanair has written to all of its pilots based in Germany copying them on the correspondence with the VC Union and we will be asking them to work as rostered tomorrow in order to minimise disruption and inconvenience for our German customers”.

To celebrate, Ryanair has launched a seat sale with fares on its new Prague routes available from just 529Kč, for travel in April, which must be booked by midnight Friday (28 Sept) only on the Ryanair.com website.
In Prague, Ryanair’s Chief Commercial Officer, David O’Brien said:
“Ryanair is pleased to add 2 more based aircraft at Prague (4 aircraft in total) as part of our biggest ever Prague summer schedule with 30 routes, including 15 new routes to and from exciting cities such as Copenhagen, Marrakesh and Pisa, which will deliver 2.1m customers p.a. as we continue to grow Czech routes, traffic, tourism and jobs.
To celebrate we are releasing seats for sale on these new routes from 529Kč for travel in April 2019. This offer is available for booking until midnight Friday (28 Sept). Since these amazing low fares will be snapped up quickly, customers should log onto www.ryanair.com and avoid missing out.”
Prague Airport CEO, Vaclav Rehor, said:
“We welcome Ryanair’s decision to extend the number of flights offered from Prague during the 2019 summer schedule, primarily the introduction of services to the new destinations of Billund, Bournemouth, Pescara and Zadar, which are not currently served directly from Prague. Alongside the previously announced new routes to Amman and Marrakesh, Ryanair significantly extends the offer of direct flights for Czech passengers and at the same time brings Prague and the Czech Republic within reach of foreign visitors from the respective markets.”
