Lima Golf:
135euros x 900hrs = +/- 120,000euros. No extras and no pay if your are sick or don't fly for any reason.
Advertised RYR captains salary upto 140.000euros. + many fringe benefits PLUS RYR has to pay certain goverment contributions. The total package will cost well above 180,000euros. Thus BRK are cheaper.
Come to think of it if RYR lay off F/O's on unpaid leave, but still continue to recruit newbees, they save again because of the very low pay to newbees during line training.
Question: If RYR are to ground 20 a/c why are they still training newbees? Is it becasue they have contracts with outside TRTO's and it doesn't cost them anything if they delay their joining date?
