RYRCadetRecruitment,
1.) Now we are heading into another Covid winter what are the plans for those Cadets that have been line training this summer? Will they be offered contracts immediately upon conclusion of their training contracts and will said contracts follow suit of other UK based crews, 50% part time and unpaid leave over winter?
2.) What are the terms being offered to Second Officers? What is the base salary and is there a minimum hours guarantee?
3.) For those applying now I assume its for summer 2022 with a view to start TR spring 2022?
4.) Why don’t cadets receive a salary during TR and what additional costs need to be covered by the cadet throughout the process and what does this approximately surmount to?
5.) How are current Ryanair SO’s / FO’s going to survive over winter without taking employment elsewhere?
6.) Are line training Cadets being used ahead of current Ryr FOs over the summer period as a cost saving measure or is everyone flying equally? What guarantee can you give to those who get offered Second Officer contracts that their hours won’t be cut in favour of the next-instafamous-paying-skygod?
7.) Can you put the record straight as to whether this is a legitimate job opportunity with facts to back that up for those who wish to have a long and successful career with Ryanair and that this isn’t a scam to screw over current employees or cadets as those here have discussed.
Hello Everyone,
There seems to be a lot of rumours and incorrect information posted here! If anyone has any questions about the AFA cadet Programme or Ryanair itself, please ask them below so you can hear the correct info!
I feel like these questions would provide valuable information for those considering your cadet program. Paying 30K for a 6 month-16k salary contract with no guarantees on job retention particularly during a pandemic is understandably a huge concern for your future employees many of whom have already spent upwards of 60k for the pleasure to simply apply for your scheme. Sustainability must of course be a concern for yourselves to match the growing demand and expansions you promote. If you’re going to need the crew then isn’t it better to ensure you offer a viable option and security for those to join?
