1. The cost of the typerating comes in at just under £18.500, there are no costs for line training.
As a note if you are considering this route, budget for aprrox 2 months accomadation, food and travel to either Holland or Sweden. I spent around £2500 on this.
2. The new SO will be employed under a Ryanair training contract throughout his line training.
3. You will earn approx £700 per month under this contract. There are no allowances.
4. At the moment the current word is that all new SO's will be offered a Brookfield contract after his line check.
5. This would give an intial pay of 40.50 euros per hour
6. Your recurrent sim training will be scheduled on "days off"
7. The roster is 5 on 4 off, published every Friday, with 1 month in advance.
8. Nil from the company (as an SO anyway) you have to contribute to your, if any scheme.
9. ... thats a difficult one, the only one I can think off is that you can travel in your unifrom for free
10. REPA continues to grow, its not recognised in all bases, but does offer some support.
Scroggs, anybody else who is reading this I hope this gives you an insight into what to excpect as a new "wanabee".
