Ryanair sacks pilot for questioning safety on TV

DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ryanair has fired one of its senior pilots and is preparing legal action against him for questioning the airline's safety record in a television interview, the company said on Thursday.

Europe's largest budget carrier by passengers, Ryanair has in recent weeks rejected accusations from pilots that it encourages crew to carry less back-up fuel and that disciplinary threats discourage the reporting of safety concerns.

Ryanair said it had fired veteran pilot John Goss for his "defamatory contributions" in a documentary about the airline's safety culture broadcast this week on Britain's Channel 4.

if i was flying anywhere, no way would i pick that company for safety or paying through the nose just to get there. that pilot spoke out and he had many years working for them and was sacked for telling the truth.

Ooops I`ve got a flight with them to London .....Thanks for the warning
