Spanish airspace in chaos.

Spanish airline Iberia has been forced to cancel 100 of it's flights due to a strike by SEPLA pilots.Further stoppages are expected throughout February. Just what's needed after Spanair collapsed...

Spanair pilots will be queueing up for their jobs then........Risky strategy then I fear........

The budget airlines don´t miss a trick they are already after the staff Typically Spanish but it seems that with 5 million unemployed in Spain the workers would rather pick and choose !!!

It may have been a while since I worked but I can´t think that I ever went to a new employer and said give me everything that my old employer offered (oh by the way they don´t exist any more) but it was a contract!!!

I dont think I could work for Ryanair, the staff get a lot of abuse from passengers due to their penny grabbing. The other day me and Patsy stood in the queue for 45 mins like lemons so we could be together, ahhh. The plane was only about 75% full so we managed to get a row of three and placed coats jumpers and bags of grub on the seat between us to discourage its occupancy! Anyway last minute a bird comes on with a young lad. Trolly dolly asks Patsy to move over at which point I point out there are loads of empty rows near the front with reserved stuck on them perfectly ideal for mother and son to which I am told nobody is allowed to sit in those seats. Young lad now looks like hes about to start crying making me look like some sort of monster so I back down and get Patsy to move cos I know that if I dig in now it will be us who gets chucked off. This is Ryanairs strategy to get you to prebook your seats of course. Now I'm not entirely sure of course but wouldnt mind betting this woman knows the system well and with a young kid in tow knows she needn't bother queueing like the rest of us and end up sitting together anyway. Grrrrrrrr, end of rant.

I won't use them or easy lay jet.

I have to. I have a choice of flying to Tenerife with Aer Lingus or Ryanair. Flying with Ryanair next July for 5 of us and 3 bags, priority boarding for 1100 euro ( incl credit card fee). Air Lingus was 1480 euro ( excluding credit card fee)

200 quid each, that is dear. I got Monarch and Thomascook joint booking for 2 with pre booked seats, 20kg hold luggage and flying on Easter Saturday (school holidays), 320 quid.

Captive audience innit!

It may be a problem in coming days as well...May solve issues soon...
