Given Ryanair have posted the wage slips details of the earnings that various captains earn at various different bases in different countries, would it not also be a good idea to reveal (other than the Basic) the Social and PAYE headings also, just to clarify?. I am interested to know what the other (second) largest amount is on each payslip. If you look purely at the Basic salary, then it's less than other operator's Command salaries for equivalent fleet position and size in the main. The bulk of salary is made up of something else (pre-tax?), and also - what position in Ryanair do these individuals hold? Base Captains? Directors of some sort? or just ordinary line pilots?.
