You are paid from base training. RYR do not have a problem with applications but a lot of good candidates are missing out because they couldn't afford the type rating. The difference here is that they are paying you during base training and you get a Ryanair contract during trainig which wasnt the case before, basic salary of €21k and €16 psbh once released from safety pilot.
So if you fly about 85 sbh per month it gives you : 1750 € (basic) + 1360 € (16*83) = 3110 € before tax, which would give between 2300 to 2500 € net on a busy month ? If that's correct, that's quite low... If you put it over a 4 year period (before becoming cpt) you will earn much less than what f/o can make now (half less !), even by taking into account the 29,5k type rating. Am I missing something ?
