Phileas F,
no offence......but where on earth are you talking about?
5 on/5 off roster is for contract pilots with no assigned base. Permanent pilots in RYR have a 5 on/3 off roster at the moment. The salary they get is an illusion. It might appear good initially, but don't be mislead by this since they have second to none benefits and pay everything out of this salary. Contractors even pay for their recurrency training. And people in all ranks leave RYR for all sorts of airlines.
