Indeed it is!
Having been in other Airlines the money as a Captain is the best I will ever see in short haul aviation. Every night at home to see my lovely wife and Two children. 900 hours of easy but sometimes challenging work. but only 110left till end of March The standard of FO's I fly with is very high.Well maintained and new aircraft.
Love them. For those whinging i bet you work for us as well .

I couldn't agree more. I swore that I wasn't going to add to any threads on Pprune to do with Ryanair but I just have to respond to this one. It's the best damn pay in the industry. The roster is a fixed five on three off pattern. I get home every evening. I fly brand new aircraft that rarely falter. The training department is the best that I've come across with a high standard of trainers who strive to teach, & know more about the 737 operationally than, probably, Mr Boeing himself! A good First Officer is never going to find a quicker, or better, route to the left hand seat. Look at the list of destinations to see the kind of flying experience that he or she has been exposed to.
The airline companies regularly turn away experienced crew... maybe some of you should look at what is really happenening in the the airline industry...
Ryanair turn down crew who just don't cut it. We may be short of pilots but we won't take crew who don't make the grade at the sim check. Simple as that.
What has really annoyed me, however, is the total falsehood on which this particular thread is based:-
Leave has been cancelled for the next two months for Captains and First officers at two of the largest bases. Crews being denied the allowed holiday periods.
1000 Flights already cancelled due to "Boeing Machinist strikes" ; real reason because of Pilot shortage.
Carmoisine, where did you get this nugget of misinformation? I'm STN based & I applied for leave in September for February this year. Two days after applying for the said leave it was issued. The leave has now appeared on my roster. 1,000 flights already cancelled!? Total rubbish. Come March we probably will be subbing in to cover the crew who are short on annual hours, but it hasn't happened yet so why do you publish it?
