Thank goodness for Ryanair for taking these 71 aswell as the others they have taken from FTE, PTC etc. Only for them there would be a lot more pilots in the dole queue.
Hardly pilots! the real out of work pilots are the ones that have recently been laid off and cant get hired by ryan air due to their experience, and get turned away by the young babies with blue books churned out by OAA. They are the real pilots. Dont think you could join the dole queue leaving OAA as you havent been laid off or worked...!
Wait 10 years down the line till the next recession and they will be experienced and get the chop for the next batch of youngsters....
apologies for the thread creep sir.
