On March 19, the European Cockpit Association (ECA), which indirectly represents 38,000 pilots in the European Union, signed a protocol agreeing to represent pilots at Irish LLC Ryanair across the EU countries. They are creating the Ryanair Transactional Pilot Group (RTPG) by bringing together the Ryanair company councils of ECA’s pilot-union members. They will pool legal, political, and technical resources to achieve their goals including direct permanent employment contracts bound to local laws, equal and transparent career opportunities across the network, and collective bargaining represenataion for all Ryanair pilots regardless of country or base. Ryanair has not yet commented on whether they plan to officially recognize RTPG.
