No one is jumping the queue by taking a job with Ryanair, nor are they depriving others of a job. Ryanair's flirtation with their current unsavoury tactics will not last once they need pilots more than pilots need them - which could happen very soon! . .They will very quickly discover that those who joined under the current terms will leave when things get better elsewhere, as they will, and those that didn't apply then never will. With 800 new pilots required, that could give them a problem... .SkyGuy, get off your soapbox. Pottster hasn't done anything to affect your terms of service wherever you are lucky enough to work, and we all have to earn a crust. Just watch him and others queue up to leave in a couple of years' time.
