Mr. James Courtney:

It now meets the European requirement for harmonisation and is operating to a calendar year of January to December. Ryanair is a much larger organisation, with more than 4,000 pilots and 8,000 cabin crew. We discussed the issue with it and agreed to a transition period of over one year. We gave it way more than one year, from 2016 to January 2018, to be compliant. That is the sequence of events that has led us to where we are. As Captain O'Connor said, we carried out and continue to carry out numerous audits and inspections, etc.and there was no indication that there was a problem in Ryanair in meeting the 2018 target. To date, it has not requested a derogation from the requirement to be compliant in January 2018.
