If you don't like Ryanair - simply don't join Ryanair - it is a free market.
Lots of the real old timers like me operate on a Brookfield contract for Ryanair . The rates I was told by them tonight are increasing in June. New cadets for first 500 hours will be on EURO 60.00 per sched block hour less EURO 4.50. It then I think goes upto EURO 80. No FO in FlyBe will earn EURO 80 per hour.
I legally and carefully pay my taxes in Ireland and there are huge expenses I can easily offset against my income through Brookfields. I think the whole thing needs to be sold a lot better to the new young starters.
