Ryanair
Benny71,
I think the way it works is at the end of your 'Line Check' you're assigned a base. At my interview I was asked for my 3 choices, but I am not sure how much weight these carry.I have a friend who has just finished his line training, he had asked for East Mids or Luton and has got Liverpool where they're very short at the moment. He hopes to get East Mids early next year.
I to have a family and it is one of my concerns as it is very hard to just upsticks at a moments notice. However with more aircraft arriving and 2 new bases I expect there will be movement which may create an element of choice ( I hope)!!! Outside the UK would be bad news for me.
Cheers
