“The British don’t want to be baggage handlers”: Ryanair chief Michael O’Leary says UK workers will not shut down the shortage of post-Covid staff blamed for airport chaos as thousands MORE BA staff threaten to strike this summer

The British do not want to be baggage handlers, Ryanair chief Michael O’Leary has said amid staff shortages and planned strikes at Heathrow Airport.
The low-budget airline has not been “completely affected” by airport chaos this summer, which has seen other British airlines cancel thousands of flights due, in part, to staff shortages.
Instead, Mr O’Leary said Ryanair was prepared for the return of pre-Covid travel levels because it could see the “recovery” and made its staff return to work soon.
He also stated that, unlike its competitors, its Irish company can take advantage of the European labor market and not meet British workers who do not want to “pick fruit or work in hospitality, security and baggage handling at airports”.
His comments come as thousands of British Airways staff, including cabin crew and engineers, have threatened to plunge airports and airlines into even more chaos during the school holidays.
Unions are asking more than 16,000 workers if they want to join the more than 700 BA employees who have already pledged to leave their pay at Heathrow Airport over the summer.
Ryanair is also struggling with its own strike in Europe, as staff left this weekend in Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal and Spain.
Passengers have suffered months with check-in delays, flight cancellations and baggage problems at UK airports.
And today furious passengers have landed at Heathrow to see the luggage left during arrivals, while Manchester holidaymakers were told they face 12 hours to board a delayed flight.

MANCHESTER AIRPORT: Passengers have suffered months with check-in delays, flight cancellations and baggage problems at UK airports and today have seen another day of queues in Manchester.
Yesterday’s passengers also had to endure long queues at Bristol, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Glasgow airports.
Many airport experts have pointed to post-Covid recruitment as the underlined problem.
However, Ryanair, based mainly at London Stanstead and Dublin airports, appears to have largely escaped unharmed from the disaster, according to the Telegraph.
Between May 7 and June 6, the low-cost airline had three cancellations of its 13,099 flights (0.02%) compared to 142 of British Airways ’13,010 (1.09%). While easyJet had 16,425 flights with 636 (3.87%) canceled.
Ryanair, based in Dublin, Ireland, has 19,000 employees that it hires across Europe.
His boss has largely blamed Europe’s inflexible labor market for other airlines such as BA and easyJet to cancel flights.
O’Leary told the Telegraph that Ryanair has not been “completely affected” as, unlike some airlines, it saw the recovery coming “early”.

He added: “I will not campaign for Brexit again, but the UK will have to find a way to open up the job market between the UK and Europe, to get people here to do the jobs that the British frankly do. I don’t want to. do.
“They don’t want to harvest fruit, they don’t want to do agricultural work, they don’t want to do hospitality or security or baggage handling at airports.”
John Grant, chief analyst at global travel data provider OAG, said that unlike BA, Ryanair does not “depend” on British labor.
He added: “EasyJet has access to a wider range of manpower, but most of its bases are in major Western European countries facing resource problems similar to those in the UK.
“Ryanair has a much wider range of bases across Europe and during the pandemic retained a larger proportion of its staff at some of these bases, especially in Eastern Europe.”
Gilbert Ott, creator of the God Save the Points flight advice website, said Ryanair is also a “hassle-free” airline with an aircraft, the Boeing 737, and European short-haul services.
He said: I think a lot of people don’t realize how many weeks it takes for staff to pass the safety checks needed to fly again, especially pilots.
“In addition, European countries were the first to signal a great summer of unrestricted travel, which gave Ryanair a wide opportunity to climb and be aggressive.”

O’Leary also said the crew of his cabin crew, which must be recycled for eight weeks if their working hours run out, and the pilots, who must fly every month to avoid losing their license , were in the sky ‘well ahead of expected recovery’
O’Leary said the crew of his cabin crew, who must be retrained for eight weeks if their working hours run out, and the pilots, who must fly each month to avoid losing their license, they were in the sky “far ahead of expectations.” recovery ‘.
He added: “We made sure that even if we had flights without passengers, we would send pilots and cabin crew.
“We’ve sent everyone to fly at least once a month. We didn’t throw them all home and said, ‘We’ll call you in 18 months when it’s all over.’
Those returning to Britain also faced possible disruptions, as Ryanair cabin crew began a three-day march in Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal and Spain yesterday.
The biggest impact was felt in Belgium, where the halt in construction caused Europe’s largest budget airline to cancel 127 flights to and from Charleroi airport near Brussels. · Friday to Sunday.
Ryanair could only guarantee between 30 and 40 percent of its scheduled flights to the airport, a spokesman for Brussels South Charleroi Airport said.
In response, Mr O’Leary said the cabin crew with annual salaries of £ 24,000 and £ 45,000 are “delighted” to return to work and “work after Covid”.
He added: “Everyone can afford to pay the rent. This idea that people cover the minimum wage or don’t get paid when they don’t want to, is total rubbish.
