Our standby´s are when and for how ever long we are told. Anytime from 0500-1200LT is typical for the standby to start and they can be as long as 12hrs. The best type of standby is the 11hr airport one they have us doing, where we are there for emergency and are the last people they will ever call
I will have done 7 sbys or so during October.
No real union representation at Ryanair? What can I say except it sounds familiar.
Not complaining too much though, its my first job and I´m grateful for that
