Maybe your friend is not telling you the whole truth, so before you come out attacking the system maybe you should have first han info on it. Just because your friend has the hours does not meen that he is suitable for command upgrade. Maybe he failed his passive evaluation, maybe he failed his formal evaluation. I assure you that the training in Ryanair is not a joke, it is in fact one of the hardest in the industry. Many guys have failed in the last few years for various reasons so do not come out attacking a company, a system and the training you are not part of, and have only heard via the grape vine. Paying has nothing to do with training. All candidates are upgraded on Ryanair's cost, and they do not look at anything else except performance and suitability for command. The training department is so diverse in nationalities and backgrounds that I assure you it is not easy to single out a guy.
Any way, tell your friend good luck
