People seem to ignore the facts. Many airlines make you pay for an interview the esteemed Cathay pacific make you pay initailly then they pick up the tab and plenty of airlines which run cadet courses make you pay for the interview but hey its only RYR. Its been said many times, talk to the right people and you dont have to pay a cent. All you need to do is some research!
RYR contracted pilots DO NOT pay for recurrent training. They do get allowances for the rest. Contractor pilots do. The debate about whether this is right or wrong is moot as those are the conditions.
What gets up your arse about conditions? The fact that in general they are comparable to other airlines pay wise. Yes I agree management are a pain in the arse and constantly take and take but name an airline in the world that isn't trying to get their pilots to do more and more for less and less.
But hey its all bad its all RYR. We should ask Danny to rename/ create a thread on PPRUNE entitled slag off RYR then we could put half of the crap the gets espoused on here as fact in there.
