Ryanair threatens to sack pilots over 'danger' incidents

The airline has been investigated for three serious incidents in less than a year, which involved aircraft approaching an airport either too fast or at the wrong height.

In each case the pilots were forced to abort landing.

In the latest to emerge, a Ryanair jet came within 425ft of the ground as it passed over the suburbs of Cork, triggering two alarms in the cockpit and dozens of complaints from concerned residents.

Following the latest report, from the Irish Air Accident Investigation Unit, the Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary has issued a memo to all pilots warning them they will face demotion the first time they make a dangerous approach and dismissal should they make a second.

Invariably the problem in these cases is with (company) procedures rather than with the individuals. This is highlighted by the fact there have been several incidents rather than just one.

It's a bit like saying 'The beating will continue until moral improves!'
