Thanks for your advice guys, Ryanair is pretty low on my list of airlines I wish to work for, mainly due to points raised in this and many other threads!
I have a friend whom is working for Ryanair (recently employed), and yes he really has been messed around with long delays for base training etc.....
I'm happy working for Flybe, but my motives for change are lifestyle, as I live in Manchester and working from BHX is taking its toll!(family and financially).
So, I really do need to carefully consider every offer, and at this moment in time I'm pretty relucatant to pay vast amounts of cash (which I don't have) for a rating that may be on a temp contract!!!! I'm thinking maybe I will give Ryanair a wide birth after all............
Thanks for your advice
