You do not have to worry about a RYR contract because you wont be offered one.
All cadets who join RYR are given the option of "accepting" a BRK 'brookfield' contract
This is how it goes,
You are paid NOTHING until safety pilot released, to be safety pilot released it takes a minimum of 12 sectors this rarely happens it can take anything up to 30/40 sectors depending on your ability, if you do 4 sector days could take 2 weeks or so.
After you are safety pilot released you are paid 40.50 euro per scheduled block hour until you have been line checked (this is the final check before you are released into the line for normal operations and you do not need to fly with a line training captain anymore) this is a minimum of 68 sectors and can take anything up to 100 again depending on your ability,
After you have been line checked you are on 55.50 euro per scheduled block hour until you have 500 hours on type, expect to fly between 40/80 hours per month,
After 500 hours on type your pay will increase to 75.50 euro until 1500 hours on type,
Line training takes approx 3 months from any base in Europe,
it takes approx 6/7 months to accumalate 500 hours on type,
Be prepared for alot of standbys after line training due to a high intake of cadets in the next year,
Be prepared to be given a month off with short notice,
Ive recently enquired about a RYR contract and I was told there are no RYR contracts being offered indefinately,
Also for those of you wondering if you are paid any extras on a Brookfield contract you ARE NOT, you are not paid for standby days unless you are called..
Just a bit of advice for all cadets who have been accepted to the Ryanair cadet program
READ THE CONTRACT BEFORE YOU SIGN IT
