I didn't get a new starter bonus - I'm non-typed - and there is nothing in the contract to indicate that the salary will go up by 5k at any point.
I suppose I'm posting because others considering applying to FR will read the threads and it's always handy to get a heads up on what to actually expect.
Which, true to reputed form, is Ryanair loudly announcing a a solution to one of their problems (crew retention) then immediately working as hard as they can to save money, and in the process undermining any chance of their fix holding.
I suppose I can't say they haven't prepared me for what to expect!
