The type rating costs Ryanair as close to zero. They earned hundred of thousands of euros with the pilots. But I've seen guys like you defending Ryanair like your life is depending on it. Let me tell you this. There are companies out there that actually pay your type rating and they pay you throughout the type rating. And they are commercial companies as well
Basic salary of 21,000€ is a joke if you don't get a guaranteed amount of flight allowance. Let's say they pay you 50h guaranteed.
Get a grip man.
