from ryanair...
being a ryanair FO and having a netjets offer on my table since 2 months now i can say i am very not decided. Ryanair offers 737-800 command in 3-4 years, steady roster and home every night. The first thing i do appreciate, but not the second being 27 and single ...i would enjoy travel and experience on lots of airports more than just 12 destinations every week, 4 sectors a day, 12 hours duty a day starting 5.00z every day (or ending 2300z on the late shifts). It is more a married people thing. Also the thing about being able to live where i want with netjets, so not being linked to the misfortunes of the airline on a particular base (closing the base, being relocated etc etc) it is very good and appeal to my wish for adventure. Also the perks..well, ryanair doesnt have any...i bring my own food to the airplane everyday...and if u think thats fine..well, u should consider how much free time u have at home every night... from a 2300z arrival into ur base and a 1100z departure next day, with the roads always blocked, 8 hours to sleep and the house to mantain and clean. I would say it is better to be 6 days on the road in hotel all organized for u and go back home one at a time for 5 days and live your life there. This is a HOTEL job, it was for years, it will always be in my opinion. I cant help to be sorry every time i use to wake up my family at 3.50 in the morning when i used to live with them (yes, after type rating where is the money for a house??)
This going back and forth to the airport isnt exactly nice,i feel like working in a office, but 12 hours a day with the strangest timetable.
That is what i can give you to choose.
my 2 cents lets say...
