  • UK Captain Salary is £147k or £144k if regional (if dual licence rated)
  • Basic £108,000 Allowance (uniform, parking, loss of licence, or do whatever you want with it) £6,000 A/L pay £2,897 Sector pay £14,714 (based on 850 avg hours) Pension £8,000 London Allowance £3,000 Total £142,611 Dual licence Allowance £5,000 Total inc DLA £147,611
  • The psychometric assessment is provided by AON - If you successfully join a course, this is reimbursed in full
  • Its a fixed 5/4 roster for duration of your Ryanair career
  • For Non-Type Rated Captains it is a €15k reducing bond (no payment reductions etc)
  • Loads of opps for fast track command & training dept
Hope that helps
Cheers
The salary is NOT £147k. Annual leave, pension etc absolutely are not ‘salary’ when comparing to other places. A fair comparison for other carriers is about £125-£130K. And big caveat is that only the basic is set to keep rising over the years, albeit not by much. That ‘allowance’ thing, pension etc etc are all frozen so will reduce in value pretty rapidly.

Roster pattern is good, but that’s about it. Way way way better off money wise going to J2, or if you need to RYR to get some hours then J2.
