I was reading this
site and while it is poorly put together the gist of what is being called a " recruitment scam " is that people pay for training as cabin crew and then fail their probation after providing very cheap labour for just under a year. Is it moving towards the same thing in first officer positions? Does it work out cheaper for Ryanair to keep the RHS filled with a fresh cadet ( in the summer season ) ( if it does Im sure knowing Mick O Learys approach to business that is what he is doing
if he can get away with it ) , however it makes less sense to me that he is doing the same thing with captains unless of course a year 2+ captain costs more money and he is happy that he can get a supply of year1 captains from his cadet pool ( command is a form of carrott being touted from what I can gather ). Does in essence Ryanair
want you to move on as soon as you become more expensive? I am not knocking people who have paid to fly ( as a TR does not cost 30K ..right ?) but more trying to grasp where the commercial sense for bean counters lies in it all.
