how can the cost be 25 000 euros when u can get a type on a 737 for 5000 usd in the US?
Well
flyingsaucer the answer is simple. Ryanair have done to the pilots what they previously did to cabin crew, which is to turn them into a source of profit. So when you join and discover that the promises were not entirely honoured, you find it expensive/difficult to leave - but even if you do leave they will have made a handsome profit from you. (It is also worth remembering that their contract stipulates that
they give you 1 months notice of termination of employment, while
you must give them 3 months notice). This is another way of entrapping pilots.
All of this, of course, is why they just love new CPL/IT wannabes with money ... lots of luvvvly revenue and profit and minimal exposure to cost, since they only pay the trainee pilot when he or she actually flys (hence the long delays in training do not cost them a thought, even though the trainee might be in serious financial trouble).
