mik3bravo, what smells and sounds like poo usually is. The figures thrown are probably what a RYR Lifer (senior trainer/examiner) might be earning on a legacy contract if he/she worked every hour God sent probably further adjusted for maximum overtime/day off payments. Don't fall for it. Anyway, it's not about money but lifestyle. Ryanair pilots want the same money for better lifestyle, not more money per se!
