what is truth
jumpy,
sorry you had to land in the midst of all this rhobust confusion and hubus...
the truth about ryanair is you do lots of hours each month, you are hom every night, and the salary is fairly high compared to other airlines...its average compared to many LOCO outfits...
however, current conditions are bad, morale is non-existant, and much of the workforce is looking for a way out as soon as they can...
current entry's are already on the lookout for other job opportunities, and see RYR only as a 'stopover' for no more than a year...
permanent FO are here for the short run... 3,000 hours, captaincy, then run...fast as you can...
there is no protection for the deterioration of your conditions other than to play hard-ball...a very valid comment was made along these lines, if you play your cards right...
barter with them, its the only way they listen...
under the current shortage conditions, theyll be forced to meet your demands, just jump in on them early in the flurry of hap-hazard training and 'basing' and keep your eyes out for better opportunities...
also do the maths...the salary you get is more likely to be around GBP 50,000 per annum, nothing (AND I MEAN NOTHING!!!!) included...so work out the deductions for uniform, ID passes, medicals, Loss of license, pension fund, everything down to drinking coffee and meals...
If you join us, you will be welcomed aboard...the one saving grace about ryanair is the hope and humanity which exists amongst the staff, and the staff alone...
