Honey737....Keep dreaming. You have your rosy glasses installed, an thus you are part of the problem. Not many will get a firm contract, why should they? ...they are much cheaper via an agency. You dont fly 1000 hours a year, some do, some dont, its not to be counted upon. And if you fly this much, where is your holidays? (Like normal employees have, in normal companies). If they need you, you will be scheduled to fly. If not, you will not. They dont need to fire you, they can just stop scheduling you. I think my 900 hrs / year example is more than realistic.
And DO NOT FORGET TO CALCULATE THE COST OF HOTELROOMS AND TRANSPORTATION IN ROME; MILAN, HAHN, BARCELONA, LONDON, STOCKHOLM DURING A WHOLE YEAR AND DEDUCT IT FROM YOU IMAGINARY 40000 GBP WHEN YOU STATE SALARIES!!!
...and remember: Holidays, pension schemes, LOL insurance and other things COST MONEY, so a Ryanair job can not be compared to other jobs when just using the figure for salary. Other companies have these things. Try and think twice before you write like that again.
