I can't see you joining as an FO with 1500hrs on type, however if you did you would start on E80.50. Unfortunately Ryanair are only interested in non-rated cadets (for obvious $£$£$ reasons). This is a bit of a let down because there is a gap in experience levels which in the end will put greater reliance on DECs joining. All fine and well when Ryanair exist in an employers market. That won't last forever, however neither will the expansion. With average hours per year dropping, years to command for a year one cadet are increasing. This will only increase further when the shareholders get their pay day. Interesting times for those joining now who expect to be in the LHS in 4 to 5 years!

As for 800hrs per year on 80.50 per block hour - can't see it. Sorry.

As for base transfers, there is no list. Not for transfers, not for training positions, not even car parking passes. They happen, however the only process in place seems to be good fortune and subtle persistence. That, alongside not creating a name for yourself, seems to work. Typical waiting around periods seem to go anything between 6 to 18 months depending on the base. Some longer - much longer. Can often depend on your position ie Cpt or FO
