Agree with the above... they are not doing this as a genuine gesture to improve the T’s & C’s of the cadets, they really do not operate that way. As has been mentioned they have appalling retention rates for FO’s who rightly realise there are far better options out there. On the surface perhaps better than paying €29,000 Eur upfront but you can guarantee there will be some sort of ‘salary’ sacrifice. I use the term salary loosely as I’m sure these cadets will still be contractors, which is the main major issue in RYR. Get everybody employed on genuine contracts, then I’ll call it a step forward!
