Indeed, one of our first officers left with an indication he would get a command after six months, only to find he was going to spend that six months on half sector pay!
Then he should have been more patient, Wizofoz. Where did he move onto that gave him the opportunity of a faster promotion? Monarch? easyjet? First Choice? BA, even? Also, even though he was on half sector pay did they state that it would be an excessively long time to the left hand seat?
The present status with regard to full sector pay when first joining Ryanair is as follows:
If you have more than 500 hours on medium jet transport a/c
& more than 1,500 hours on JAR25 a/c then your qualify for full sector pay. This is not heresay, but if you still doubt this then please call personnel, Dublin & they will verify this.
