Yep, mate of mine has said how dire the situation is becoming. I don't believe it is exactly as you describe though but its poor practice anyway. It is a joke. How can people be fooled into joining the airline….all those MAX aircraft are replacing a very large number of older NGs. Don’t be gullible people. Yes there is a recovery but they’re overstating it. RYR are making money out of people paying for their type rating….. Poor senior FOs losing out on hours and pay because of this appalling practice. We have a lot of people in this thread defending RYR. What can you possibly defend?
