Description
The low-cost Irish carrier has announced that it will hire about 2,000 pilots in Europe over the next three years, as the company recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.
New pilots will be recruited to crew aircraft deliveries. As part of this recruitment drive, Ryanair will deliver Boeing 737 training courses in partnership with Airline Flight Academy in Dublin, Ireland. Training courses will take place through 2021 to be ready for summer 2022 for Ryanair’s locations across Europe. The airline has received its first Boeing 737-8200 Gamechanger aircraft, which will help reduce fuel consumption, costs and noise, and CO2 emissions.
Ryanair is an Irish low-cost airline founded in 1984. Ryanair's route network serves 40 countries in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.
Previous restructuring programmes were announced in May 2020 (3,250 jobs cut) and June 2021 (1,000 jobs created).

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
