Sorry this is false - Ryanair have not always arranged for pilots to sign up to ‘training contracts’ before. Training was provided by Ryanair who also took responsibility for future training/renewals and offered a job dependant on successful completion of the course.
Now they are distancing themselves completely, placing responsibility for licence renewals on the trainee and making clear the point that this is a 6 month training contract, not a job offer. It may work out for those taking the gamble, it may not. But this is definitely not the way it’s always been.
