Ryanair= best roster in the industry
I love these generalised b*llocks statements on pprune. In your experience of where exactly have you formed this industry wide viewpoint? You not just copying and pasting what FR have being saying on their website now are you? Next you will be telling us you are the best paid in Europe!
The 5/4 looks attractive on the face of it but what if you only want to work earlies and not lates or vice versa? Your not allowed to swap. Then the lates run into your days off etc etc. Personally I like my earlies as I am home around lunchtime and can have dinner with my family. Horses for courses but I would never be as bold as to suggest that my companies rosters were the "best".
