FR Turnover
I wouldn't convince yourself that turnover at Ryanair is high. The company has reported an all time low in turnover rates in the last 12 months and I can certainly testify to this if my base is anything to go by. It could be a result of an all round industry slow down, however pay, roster stability and opportunity is a major attraction with FR. There are a few guys I konw who have been upgraded recently to Captain, while others are about to leave regular line flying to become SFIs at East Midlands and Stansted. Having flown from 2 bases in the last 3 months, I have only ever met one pilot who was moving on to pastures new. If anything I think management may have overcooked the projections for recruitment this year, hence the hold being put on things until Feb/March 2009.
