I was never with Ryanair as I was fortunate enough not to have to go down that road at any point throughout the last 20 years of flying. I also understand some people felt there was not much choice other than Ryanair. Everyone’s circumstances are different and I won’t be the judge of that.
Average tax Ezy Italy is around 30 percent due to the way the contract has been constructed. In France it’s around 50 for a captain but there’s deducting depending on your family situation.
Because of this the before-tax pay also varies from country to country.
You can only really compare contracts within the specific countries.
Anyway I wish you the best of luck. No one benefits from lower paid contracts other than the shareholders. We have a strong, state-supported Air France and believe or not that’s probably just about the best thing we can hope for in this difficult time. It’s all about benchmarking.
