So that’s for everybody then is it …. or just for some contractors … or are you just leaving out the (many) inconvenient exceptions out of genuine ignorance?
No, I'm not a contractor &, no, I'm not excluding from ignorance. Any FR First Officer who is on the half sector pay by definition doesn't have a great deal of jet experience & is, therefore, paid less for approximately six months. They will be taking home what many other FOs take home pay is permanently with most other carriers. After six months their salary will rise to be on a par with the other FOs at Ryanair which is bloody good. All Captains at FR are on a very good whack, please let's not argue about that. For all of the whinging that goes on we don't tend to complain about the take home.
If you are a well informed Ryanair pilot you might occasionally visit EMA. Maybe you should talk to some people up there about the pilot shortage. They seem to have noticed what you did not notice and might even give you a more vivid picture of the realities if you ask. You can then work out if the cancellations are due to Boeing or the shortage of pilots, especially trainers.
If you bothered to read the last lines of my post, & here it is again for you. Aloue,
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?
You will see that I'm saying that we will be cancelling sectors due to crew attaining high hours, i.e., a shortage of crew. We haven't cancelled any sectors yet or sub chartered any aircraft into STN to cover sectors, why state otherwise at this moment in time?
(Oh, and I forgot, leave has been removed from the STN pilots pages on Crewdock... and a number of other bases ... had you not noticed?)
I've just been onto crewdock & guess what? The leave page is there. You can't miss it, Aloue, it says "Annual Leave."
