DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ryanair (I:RYA) is considering forcing 500 pilots to change their holiday plans to avoid risking additional flight delays, Chief Executive Michael O'Leary said on Thursday.

Ryanair this week offered pilots a bonus to work 10 additional days to alleviate a pilot shortage that has caused the cancellation of over 2,000 flights in September and October, hitting the airline's share price and reputation.
