The really interesting thing will be what will happen come September when the deal to delay the arrival of the new aircraft comes to an end. Given the dramatic tightening of the pilot market and the general unpopularity of Ryanair ... ahem ... "personnel management methods" things might change a lot.

The payment for the type rating might even go and good old-fashioned "basic pay" might mean what it means in most airlines. We might finally see the "half sector pay for as long we think we can get away with it" game coming to an end.

What then? Well of course there will be resentment towards new pilots on the part of those who paid big money for their ratings .... followed by the retorts of those who will say "silly you for paying" ... a little bit of "deja vu" here again for the older hands!? Is aviation not just the most peculiar game in town!!
