The RPG, which claims to represents the majority of Ryanair pilots, says that new-entry pilots who wish to fly for the company must accept these form of contracts.
According to group, more than 60% of pilots operating for Ryanair are contract workers.
In response, Ryanair stated: "Since this is a group of KLM, Air France, Aer Lingus and other competitor airline pilots, their occasional releases have zero credibility.
"They do not represent any Ryanair pilots."
