It’s telling the truth that businesses are preparing for Brexit, based on how well the expect the UK govt can negotiate and plan.

I'm not really worried about Brexit. The country is slowly going down hill and that will continue in or out of the EU. Ryanair can cope. They have other countries outside the EU.

No, I'm worried about Original. What does he do? Maybe he's out of work. He's on here rather a lot for a working man. But how can he hold down a job if he completely lacks logical thinking capability and seems most of the time to have short-term memory loss, answering questions that were never put to him. Do the admins have next of kin contact details?

It wasn't a quote. It was a job advert. What possible 'telling the truth' angle do you see in a job advert?

If those in leadership who supported Leave were able to give positive signals that they had a clue where they were taking the country, or that they had run scenarios to consider outcomes, then businesses would have an idea of the country’s direction.

'cos the original quote which started the thread was from Ryanair.

Original, you are so difficult to follow. If your colleagues around you leave to find alternative employment maybe there is a reason

Obviously Ryanair can be trusted to tell the truth.

what has that got to do with the price of fish?

Now let me ask you one last question - do you think Ryanair are doing this for any other reason than to take advantage of cheap Eastern European labour?

I really can't see your logic, Original. The problem here is you and your friends have potentially (we don't really know yet) taken away the flexibility of using UK cabin staff in an EU context. However the flip side is you have taken away the flexibility of using EU cabin staff in a UK context (again potentially). Whether they can use more East European cabin staff or not rather depends on how many of them have (will have) UK rights (it looks like Ryanair are primarily thinking about UK-based assignments).

If you are involved in projects that kick off with out any real design, without any real business requirements, without any real systems analysis, without any outline technical solutions, without any realistic plan/schedule and run by a bunch of thick idiots with no relevant experience and the collective concentration of a gold fish then you wouldn't be surprised if many, many business problems like this arose.

But the Irish commissioner said basic decisions had yet to be made by the UK government, such as “What are you Brexiting from and what are you Brexiting to?”.

Strange seeing as we are on the same continent and not therefore 'intercontinental arrivals'

Doh!

Schiphol airport has put little UK flag stickers next to the EU symbols in custom lines to remind people that during the transition period they are still members of the EU for all intents and purposes.
Munich airport meanwhile has given UK passport holders the metaphorical middle finger and told them to queue up with the rest of the intercontinental arrivals.

Who are not as dangerous as the people who don't believe in democracy.

Wot like the house of lords people?

[scooterscot]

This would only apply post 31st Dec 2020 and even then, that would be dependant on any deal.

Transition period is BAU people.

Who would employe yah with that much uncertainty hanging over your head? Why take the financial risk?

[WTFH]

Are your jowls wobbling?

Face getting red?

The point i was really trying to make is that a number of people on here are clearly desperate to thrown up barriers

Yes, those are the people who voted to leave the EU.

Now, what about those of us who don’t want barriers?

[original PM]

Jesus, Original, why oh why did you vote in the referendum when you can't even read two sentences without missing the point completely?

Are your jowls wobbling?

Face getting red?

The point i was really trying to make is that a number of people on here are clearly desperate to thrown up barriers now that the UK is in transition from the EU.

That's nice and all but like when you work on projects there are always some people who claim it cannot be done and the old way is the only way.

They are generally the ones who end up looking for alternative employment at the end of the project...

Not just Ryanair but it seems most airlines and other companies are starting to do this

My sister is an airline pilot and my brother is an international commentator - both travel extensively in Europe and beyond and would be a bit screwed if we didn't have an Irish mother, which automatically makes us Irish citizens and eligible for an Irish passport. Many others are not quite so fortunate
