OK, a little bit less crazy then!
Fact remains a further 40k will have to be forked out initially - lotta dough!
Still, I can't help it but the more I hear directly from RYR folks the more I think it's a pretty good deal after all. It is indeed a highly performance based pay scheme they have in place but overall pilots make more than with most other European carriers. And the 5/4 roster with no overnights is awesome. At least in my eyes.
Just a couple more questions, from what stage can new joiners deadhead? On average, how long does it take to gain command?
