Soon?

Our 2 CEO's cant make up their mind... One wants extra long haul planes ASAP, while the other wants to sit on his precious (golden) eggs as long as possible...

The extra will probably come next year, for AFI operations, and with main target to de-triangle the flights, so in other words, to make more direct flights and to increase flights on current destinations.

One other problem is, with at least 4 A319's and 2 A320's joining the fleet next year, the training department will have their hands full to train extra crew, so is it still possible to train more for an extra A330?

They should go for B737 because so many Ryanair personnel gets sacked, and will be avaiable within some months. :evil:

No crews are getting sacked, they can move a different base in the network.

The article says clearly:
Budget airline Ryanair is to axe 1,000 jobs including 150 pilot and cabin crew posts, it was announced today.

I am RYR crew based in HHN. Nobody is getting fired. The aircraft are being relocated to bases in Spain and Italy at the start of summer schedule 2011.
