Extract from the Ryanair website

Thank you for contacting the Ryanair.Com website. Our recruitment needs are driven by the delivery of twenty-eight new Boeing 737-800's, over a five year period, the first fifteen of which are already in operation in advance of the launching of new low fares routes, this spring. We will take delivery of the next eight aircraft for the Spring of 2002 which will coincide with the launch of eight new low fares routes. We have recently purchased our own Boeing 737-800 and 737-200 Simulator facility which will be up and running by this summer. This will provide Ryanair with a dedicated training facility. The location for this new facility has yet to be finalised. The delivery of these new aircraft means we will be requiring a substantial number of both Captain's and Co-pilots over the next twelve to eighteen months. Our preference is for B737 type-rated pilots for both our B737-200 and B737-800 fleets. We may however have some opportunities for non type-rated pilots to complete Boeing 737 Full Conversion Courses, but these are limited.
[b]Benefits package
We offer an industry leading remuneration package. We have just signed a new pay and conditions agreement with our pilots which will see senior Captains earning's rising to STG £102,000 plus and First Officer's earnings rising to STG £70,600 plus (gross earnings inclusive of sector pay), over the next five years. We also offer participation in our share option scheme and excellent travel benefits.
