I think with any offer you must weigh up not only the salary but the package.
As far as basic numbers are concerned here goes for permanent Capt:
Salary @ £58K gross
Sector pay £24 'net' per scheduled block hour
Pilots Allowance £5K gross
Leave £60 'net' per leave day
Pension is £5K which the Company match which is nearer 9% of basic not 5% as suggested.
Its true Ryanair dont pay for medicals, uniform, parking, LOL etc but the company have slowly given those things back but in the form of the allowance. They dont want to employ someone to administer those things so they give an allowance and say its up to us. And some like that approach. Its your money do what you like with. Be sensible and use it for all the above or just put on all red at the casino its up to the individual.
But the roster is the main point here i believe.
5 days on 4 days off pretty much fixed
Wrap around days for leave ie 5 days leave = 13 days off
28 days leave gives about 70 days off per year plus your other regular days off.
Ryanair however is what it is. Its either for you or its not. Most people stay ten years or ten months! Its never going to be BA/LH/KL. However opportunities come round quick in Ryanair.
I am lucky that I am still in the final salary pension which closed to entrants in 2000 and but should you reach TRE you earn @£125-130K.
Hope this gives a balanced view.
