not bad..

Well said sausagefinger, Im with RYR now, and enjoy it! Have paid for my type myself, home every night, brand spanking new airplanes that are xtremely well maintained.
I don't want longhaul, don't want to be away from my family for days in a row, and honestly I have eaten enough infested crewfood in my life to manage without for the rest of it!!!!

Careerwise, I bet cadets that stay on with RYR will make more money than anyone in a so called lecay-airline will make over their 40year career. Upgrade to captain at age 25, put away £15k in a pension fund a year for 15 years plus the company contribution(£5K), let that money swell till you retire and have a good laugh at your friends that decided to "wait it out" in order to not pay for a rating. They got a job with BA at 28, with luck captains at 42 at the lowest payscale, lowest on the bidding list. They will do London-Manchester in the weekends for the next two years.

Depending on how you look on it RYR may not be so bad, it sure is a lot of airlines out there where you are worse off!!!!

Question at the end here: Is there really a need to tell people they are stupid just because they have invested in their future?
