Ryanair | Airline's Chief Pilot sent sexual texts and swapped shifts to fly with women

Ryanair has sacked its ‘chief pilot’ after an investigation found he’d acted inappropriately towards female pilots. 

The pilot, named by several outlets as Aidan Murray, was  dismissed with immediate effect following the probe, which declared he had demonstrated "a pattern of repeated inappropriate behaviour" towards female colleagues.

The budget airline’s Chief People Officer Darrell Hughes sent a message to staff insisting that employees should be able to work "in a safe and secure environment".

"We would ask all of you to respect the privacy and integrity of those brave individuals who came forward to assist us in this investigation,” said Hughes.
