This has been hardly an encouraging list of responses. It's to be expected I suppose, given Ryan Air is full of Pilots who have essentially 'bought' themselves an airline Job and even worse, probably worked for free at some stage. This is often referred to as 'scraping the bottom of the barrel'.
It's no wonder that our industry is going down the drain. Thanks to that horrible word, CADET. People who go and work for the likes of M&S and then wake up one morning and suddenly say "I want to be an airline pilot" and then buy themselves a job.
Then in the process, happily bend over and be screwed by someone like O'leary.
Thanks for vandalising what was once a prestigiuos career.
