Ryanair defiant as German pilots and crew walk out 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseIrish budget carrier Ryanair was defiant Wednesday as dozens of flights were disrupted in a walkout by German pilots and cabin crew, the latest flare-up in a bitter Europe-wide battle for better pay and conditions. The unrest comes as Ryanair is already bracing for a mass coordinated walkout by cabin crew in Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. It said German pilots can make “up to 190,000 euros a year”. The Verdi union said Ryanair cabin crew earn a basic gross salary of 800 to 1,200 euros a month on average, far below what rival easyJet pays.
