I have to agree with that. Expecting people who are in almost all cases very hard up, having paid God knows how much for their training, or having been made redundant, to pay £50 (an entire week's dole money) just to read a CV is totally ridiculous.
How are people supposed to apply to, say, 40-50 airlines if everyone were to apply this?
I'd prefer to keep my money, spend it on keeping myself current and wait for a job with a real airline.
I suggest a total boycott of applications to RyanAir.
