The worst part of all the above is people justifying such practices which are against us, all of us. Being a pilot is amazing but still a job. You offer your services and you should be paid accordingly. Paying 30k UPFRONT without knowing what's coming tomorrow is no different than gambling. Ryanair is taking advantage of the tragic situation that aviation is experiencing worldwide to increase its profits. Yes, possibly some of the cadets will continue flying after the line training. But it's highly probable that they won't. Or at least not enough to live decently. Would you apply for Ryanair If you knew that at winter you would be flying once a week or month? I repeat. If NO ONE applied for Ryanair's cadet program with these terms they would have to change it ON OUR BENEFIT. People fail to understand they have the power to change things for the better. Unfortunately this does not affect only them but us all.
