The bundle M \to P \to B that is associated with a ruled manifold has the group of Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms of M as structure group if the base is simply connected. Thus information about Hamiltonian bundles gives stability results for ruled structures as well as obstructions to their existence. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0010277v1
