Due to turnover being low TR courses have been cancelled from November to February and the pilot recruitment days at EMA in Sept have been cancelled as a result. As far as I understand training will recommence next year and information will be supplied on the FR website.

And for the information, cadets do get paid during line training (I can testify to that). I was one of the last to have the old ryanair training contract, however my understanding now is that under Brookfield pay is 35 euro per block hour until LT is complete (less 4.5e). However, get yourself a good accountant and set yourself up as a sole trader and that 4.5e becomes a reclaimable expense.

The whole thing works for me. Fantastic training, stable roster, good flying in some challenging environments, and a good wage. Plus I have been given some nice annual leave for August and a decent base so I'm smiling.
