Ryanair Cadet
I'm based in Dublin and completing the final stages of an integrated ATPL. Information on career prospects, wages and further training is quite hard to come by on the internet. The obvious option would be Ryanair, however having already outlaid €73,000 on flight school, the prospect of spending another €29,500 on type rating is quite daunting particularly considering the rumors I've heard regarding the length of time it takes and the very low initial salary. I feel a lot of this information is somewhat outdated however. So in summary I have 2 main questions.
1. Are there any other options to gain employment with a frozen ATPL and no type rating?
2. What is the current situation for someone in my position entering Ryanair?
