For lack of sympathy
NG - It might just be an innocent question
Navajo - Understandably, the pages of posts are quick a mountain to drudge through, but have a look again and youll grasp what level of importance Ryanair places upon employee relations
92 hours is sitting in cockpit time executing the flight... its literally off blocks till on blocks (parking brake released till parking brake set (guys, dont narrow this definition down please, its close enough like this))
Total time allowed per year is 900 block hours (again, block off till block on), and thats an Irish limitation. Ryanair has been pushing to extend this to 1,000 or more, but that would mean murder.
It fluctuates whether FR pilots fly lots of long days with minimum rest inbetween each day (basically speaking, minimum rest must equate to the block hours flown before hand, down to a minimum level of 8 hours (i think it was)), or whether someone gets rostered a very easy week...there is no balancing done here, simply luck of the draw
FR Pilots are also paid in basic pay and sector pay. The more sectors one flies, the more the sector pay is. Currently sector pay equates to around 2 times as much as what the basic pay is on a good month
but, ofcourse, if youre out of hours or you have a slow month, you can find yourself with 1/3 the 'normal' salary for that month.
