Empty Cruise - I think you will enjoy the FR LPL base and your story is similar to others in FR right now. A colleague of mine base trained with FR on Thursday and he had just finished his type rating the previous week.
Aloue - I have met cadets who have been asked to go on Brookfield contracts and are flying from various bases. This is due to their being too many FO's in Ryanair and the young guys were not getting their flying hours at STN. As cadets the pay is better on a contract. A large number of new base positions will be available in the next six months with the arrival of 29 new aircraft.
Grim Repa - Do you actually work for Ryanair? If you don't - have you not heard things have changed?
