LOW-COST airline Ryanair has reportedly fired four flight attendants who said they had flown more than the legal maximum number of hours, and allegedly sent a memo to the rest of its cabin crew warning similar attitudes would lead to disciplinaries.
The staff members, based in Mallorca, said they were due to work on four flights on July 8 – from Palma to Madrid, then to Cologne (Germany) and back to Palma – which would total at least 12 hours on that one day and could even have been as much as 15 hours.
