Ryanair will make unpaid leave this winter compulsory for its pilots if insufficient of them volunteer to take it, confirms the airline's chief executive Michael O'Leary.
The Irish low-fare airline's boss says periods of unpaid leave, which may vary from a week to three weeks, will be allocated across the pilot workforce without reference to seniority. "If they don't like it they can leave," he adds.
