Just to correct,
Rostered average 758 per flying year, divide that by 10 as you get one month unpaid, 2 blocks of 5 days and recurrent training which amounts to another month unpaid.
So average should be 75.8hrs per month. Personally I'm no where near that, flew 98hrs in June then averaged 65hrs during remaining summer months.
Last month 50hrs, this month 35hrs. At the start of Novemebr I had flown 435hrs since April.
Its getting more depressing and becoming more and more difficult to put away for the winter. Dont get me wrong there are guys doing 80-100hrs last couple of months and those with 80+ this month. There seems to be no fairness in the system with how the hours are distributed. One guy doing 80hrs in the month and another guy on the same 5 on 4 off days doing 40hrs. Somehow 60hrs each seems impossible to roster and I am aware of flight time limitations from chapter 8.
Never had a bad thing to say about Ryanair in the past but the increasing amount of standbys are a joke. Ive been with the company for over 3 years and been called off standby only three times.
Why should a collegue with the same qualification and experience as you earn a third more for the same job due to a rostering system.
Anyway rant over.
