Joe_Bar: Just read through the Guide (in Aloue's post) and make sure you understand it all. It's a really good pin-pointer of the T's and C's with the company. I will not tell you to back off, but I can guarantee you that you will be surprised...in a negative way, if you join. You may get linetraing after a short while, you may get your money according to contract, you may get your base....BUT it all comes down to whatever suits Ryanair. To them your both valuable and worthless...as I said whichever suits them. And don't even think that it won't happen to me...because it will. This is why most of us are fed up...we're treated like crap.
