I am getting more and more SB's, in a few weeks even 3 in a row.
Yeah. my roster for October included
two weeks where I had 1 day's flying and 4 standbys! That's why I queried things with crewdock and that's why
they decided to send me out of base. The irony is that I would have happily have flown from my own base, saving the company 20e extra per hour, but they had already rostered someone from out of base to take my flying.
The reality is that pay at Ryanair is not particularly good when you factor in the unpaid months off, the winter standbys and the lack of pension. It is, however, a good way to build hours in a JAR25 aircraft. The management know this and so do we.
