Ryanair ad in flight
Ryanairs advertised terms and conditions in the latest Flight International are factually INCORRECT.
There is no STABLE 5-4 roster.This roster was rejected by 95% of all pilots at a vote in march.Why?because the company can change the roster to 5-3 and 5-2 whenever they see fit and they will also reduce your annual leave allocation to 12 days per year.Therefore it is impossible to have any fixed pattern outside of the week in which you are working.
You will also complete your recurrent training,sim training and medicals etc in your days off.
The quoted figure of £37,000 sector pay is INCORRECT.Average sector pay is now £1700 per month and this will be reduced for new joins,as part of the "5-4" fictional roster is that you agree to be paid by the scheduled sector hour at a lower rate that those currently employed.Maximum sector pay is £20,400.
You have been warned,do not come crying in your pay packet when the harsh reality bites.
