a few words of caution

unless you have absolutely no hope of employment elsewhere,do not join ryanair.this company is rotten to the core and you are likely to become a pawn in the upcoming and what is likely to be the worst union-company dispute in europe.you will recieve no pay or allowances until you have finished your training contract which can be up to 6 months after your base check.nearly a year from when you first start training.you will have to pay for all your accomodation and transport,pay for your uniform,have no pension ,no loss of licence insurance.when you do get paid you will recieve 9,000 pounds gross salary and six months on half sector pay.you will pay for your own medicals and licence ammendmebts,and the medical has to be arranged by you to happen on your day off.you will be cautioned strongly against taking days off if sick and constant b.s. if uplifting too much fuel.you will work 5 earlies and then five lates with three days off in between.try five earlies,up at 0430 and some finish times at 1700 or 1800 if on time.that will eventually kill you.yeah you will get a shot at command in 3 years but by then you will be a wreck.think i am joking,go ahead and sign the faustian pact.you will regret it,believe me!i work here and get to regret it for now until i get out,which i hope to do real soon along with 95% of my colleagues.you will also be based whereever fr chooses at their terms and salary of their choosing.you would want to be absolutely stark raving mad to join these scumbags.
shoot, nearly forgot about having no water,tea or coffee supplied.cabin crew who are a shambles,not of their own volition but by sheer neglect from the company.you will get excekllent flight training and fly your ass off,you also get real good at making sandwiches for your daily 35,000 foot picnic.remember to throw the captain a digestive,he has to carry the ridicolous f.c.i's on his back.

how about the interview,just about long enough for you to sign the cheque!
