I got to ask...
Is that e-mail serious!? £50,000!!!!!! To just work for them!
I understand Ryanair, asking for you to pay for the TR and then you will be offered a job, and then you get paid as normal. In my eyes thats the same as if you was bonded or had money taken out of your salary to pay for it.
But that is just ridiculous talk about feeling like a second class First Officer!
