Mr. Michael O'Leary:

We are investing heavily. We opened a new training centre in Swords during Covid. We have six simulators and eight cabin crew training aircraft there. We will put another one, at a cost of €50 million, in the Spanish peninsula in the next two years, with another in Poland or central or eastern Europe. Pilot unions love to come in here to say that somebody, somewhere, produced a report at some stage that says there will be a worldwide shortage of pilots. There will never be a shortage of people who are paid typically between €150,000 and €200,000 a year and, by law, cannot work more than 900 hours a year, which is about 18 hours a week. There is no fear of a shortage of pilots. They are skilled aviation professionals but they are very well paid. There is a long line of people who wish to join and take on that career challenge.
