I think we are all aware that now the Ryanair contract on 16,000 euros a year is now the current thing. That is shocking. Moreover, there is no guarantee of job security. After that training contract., then what. No guarantees. Just hopes. RYR are indeed bringing in many many MAX aircraft and claim they need crew to fly them…well on the other hand they will retire old 737NGs so they do not need as many crew as the aircraft orders they have….
In the past you got a direct RYR contract and that was alright, but still frowned upon. You don't get treated very well, maybe on pay and nice roster, but many things are subpar. The problem is people within Ryanair don't have much to compare it to…working for a proper airline.
