Frankfurt am Main - Ryanair warned yesterday more than a third of its German flights risked being cancelled because of strike action, and threatened to slash jobs if stoppages continued. The unions, representing some 400 Ryanair pilots and 1,000 crew, argue that no headway has been made with the airline's management despite repeated negotiations. Ryanair was hit by its first-ever simultaneous pilot strike in five European countries last month, including in Germany. The walkout forced the airline to cancel 400 out of 2,400 scheduled flights during the peak summer holiday season. - 'Biggest strike ever' -The unions have said it would be "the biggest strike action the company has ever seen".
