SpectreLover that is you ....Keep dreaming. It is you have your rosy glasses installed, and that is you problem.
As I said before that infor on the web for the direct permanent contract. And your are trying to use data for cotractors through the agency.
COLOR=red]Not many will get a firm contract, why should they?[/COLOR] ...they are much cheaper via an agency.
They are not much cheaper. The main difference is they have to pay for their sim and for the loss of licence insurance. But bearing in mind most of the contract lads do not pay tax that means they save quite a lot.
" You dont fly 1000 hours a year, some do, some dont, its not to be counted upon. "
Yes you don't fly 1000 block hours a year ( but very close to) and the money you earn will depend on how much do you fly both for permanent and contractors. Permanent lads have basic and serctor pay.
"And if you fly this much, where is your holidays? (Like normal employees have, in normal companies)."
That is basic math 100hxmonth you will have at least two month off more likely three.
"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 that depends on your contract. I am sure you read before you sing.
"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!!!"
Ok let's take you 900X60=54000/1.5=36000GBP and for the cost of the hotels, transportation you get another 20eur per block hour. So say you get half half 450x20=9000/1.5=6000GBP total off 42000GBP before tax for the f/o.
"...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."
You are not comparing as far as I noticed. You are just presenting the facts that are not complete.
" Try and think twice before you write ***** like that again."
And I see somebody have corected your post. I am sure you know what i'm talking about. So wach your mouth before you write.
