A good post, but people love to slate RYR mostly because they believe the tripe posted on here or who have failed to get into the airline themselves.
Many have axes to grind and find that Pprune is the best forum for their frustrations.
RYR is recruiting and need pilots to crew their new aircraft, wherever they may be based.
With the UK economy the worst in Europe we can see those aircraft being placed outside the UK for the forseeable future.
Watch this space (Pprune) as more airlines collapse and or cut back in the next few months, RYR are lean and mean enough to survive.
Easyjet are going down the route of contract pilots to fill their seasonal requirements (A La Brookfield).
Only those whose can cut to the bone will survive and even the legacy carriers are not immune.
EAT have just announced the return of 2 A300's and that means 16 F/O's and 8 F/E's redundant, only a few but if the large freight carriers are sneezing who will catch the flu and die ?
