Pilot seeks injunction against Ryanair

"A Ryanair pilot who has consistently advocated the rights of pilots has brought a legal challenge alleging “bad faith” and dishonesty by Ryanair in bringing more disciplinary proceedings against him. Capt John Goss, who four years ago settled an action against Ryanair, is seeking an injunction halting disciplinary proceedings against him. He claims Ryanair’s actions represent a threat to his employment on which he and his family are financially dependent. Capt Goss is a member of the Irish Association of Airline Pilots. Ryanair has denied the disciplinary proceedings are related to his union activities."
