Ryanair | 'If they could replace workers with a computer they would'

Comments from an ex-Ryanair Pilot have highlighted how some employees feel the budget airline values them - as well as hinting at how workers feel about automation and job security.

Jim Atkinson, a former pilot at the firm, was quoted in The Mirror as saying: “If they could replace pilots with a computer, replace cabin crew with a machine, you know when you’re working there they would do that.”
