The nature of the business of Low Cost Carriers is to minimise any cost within reason and so pass on savings to its pax. £200Gbp or whatever it is in euro now is a training cost that RYR can minimse without blushing. Every potential cadet is aware of the cost of selection before going along to EMA so posting after the event(especially when you didn't make it) appears bitter.
The name in this game, without sticking your head in the sand and taking it up the ash, is to keep your head down and just get on with the job. It will all come right in the end and have been worth all the grief!
Hope you get lucky with some commpany real soon mate!
