I most definately am only one person, I'm not management and the facts are as quoted.
There are some very sad individuals on here who try to twist everything to portray Ryanair in the worst possible light, imply that we all hate the job and want to leave when quite a lot of us are very happy here.
Ryanair is not the best employer but there are a lot worse out there and I've worked for some of them.
I am not in the least bothered how much tax Ryanair pay on my sector pay, I get £24 per hour AFTER tax and however you work it, if you are a high rate tax payer that definately equates to £40 before tax.
First officers do get a raw deal in comparison to Captains but after three or four years they get a command and then can have the higher pay for thirty or fourty years.
And yes, I am a BALPA member who wants union recognition.
