Why would you aspire to work for Ryanair when you gain your licence when they insist on charging you £30,000+ just to sit in the RHS? There are plenty of better companies to work for out there that won't base their business model on scamming low hour pilots. Not trying to start an argument here, just curious as to why your aim is to spend so much money to start with.

Regarding licensing - no-one here will be able to give you a good answer as everything is liable to change I'm afraid. The agreement by the CAA to recognise EASA licences was done at the last minute, and likewise EASA not reciprocating was also decided last minute. In the next 18-24 months we could be anywhere. I would hope that common sense will prevail and CAA & EASA pilots will enjoy the freedoms of old, but it's just as likely that both sides will throw the toys out the pram and insist on their own licence holders to operate their own aircraft.
