I am delighted for your situation with your son and no, I will not pour cold water on your delight.
I will say though for every story like yours there are many many more negative ones.
As for the 'good investment', it probably costs €110,000 euro plus (just guessing) to get into the right hand seat with RYR.
Recent new f/o's are being made take a contract position and it works out at about €35,000 p.a. with no pension, no health insurance, no uniform provided, no loss of liscence, no pay whatsoever if out sick. Absolutely NOTHING else. FACT.
Hardly a good investment.
I am sorry but I will not be contradicted on a point, taking a job with RYR as an f/o is not a good financial investment. If we do it for the love of flying that is something different. An investment, NO.
