One months leave to be taken in a block usually winter period.
You get paid based on scheduled hours not actual, if flight takes less time you benefit if longer the company benefits.
I am told its usually the pilot who comes out better over the year.
As to recruitment there will be a slow down to cope with a glut of cadets requiring training over the winter period, but increasing with projected demand when the training capacity is available.
Those who knock Ryanair on Pprune should be ignored, if you want the facts talk to RYR pilots ex cadets and see what they say.
Go for your dream there will be little available jobs out there once the US and European layoffs take effect this winter, but RYR will still be in there expanding.
NO I don't work for them in any aspect. nor am I connected in any way with their management.
