Ryanair laughed off criticism of its controversial labour practices, with commercial manager David O'Brien ridiculing the 'Danish model'. The manager expressed a total lack of interest in the issue, despite the fact that it had been widely discussed in the newspapers. The trade unions remain unhappy with the terms Ryanair offers its employees. Pilots and flight attendants are working under conditions that are unacceptable; the unions want to get an agreement with Ryanair with Danish conditions.
