Hey guys,

I passed selection recently and have been offered a place on a 'Ryanair Training Course'. I have received my 'fixed-term training contract' as a .pdf via email. The contract clearly outlines my responsibilities and liabilities.

Section 3 Highlights the 'term'. It states that the contract will terminate 6 months from completion of base check. For this period I will be on E15,000 pa gross. (=£749 pm net).

Some guys have said that Line Training can be completed as early as 6 weeks from the base check. The presentation at the open day informed us that after successful completion of line training, cadets are offered the standard contracts (most likely Brookfield). I have heard some FR pilots say this as well.

Can any peeps who have completed line training recently confirm this?
If so was your contract also titled as a 'fixed-term training contract' ?

Its just bugging me a little that I may finish my line training after say 2 months, I'm then released to fly the line fully without a training captain but I am retained on the low take home for another 4 months. (That would be a bit of a p*ss take).

Can any peeps who have recently started on standard Brookfield contracts also offer any advice on how they are managing themselves as sole traders/limited companies, offering any general pointers on how this works in relation to the agency?

Please pm if you wish.

Many thanks..
