Rostering works through mysterious ways. I have it from PB himself that rostering attempts to keep all pilots within 5% of each other. One of the reasons why it sometimes seems like base pilots are on constant standby and out of base pilots come and take hours away from the based folks.

Haven't done less than 820 hours either as FO or Captain at a central EU base. Explain that?

Again. Ryanair is a company for the young folk. Get in, do a command if you can or want and get out by the time you're 25. There's 40 years of your career left to spend with a major airline if you can get it.

Plus, the RYR experience does count for something. Haven't seen any of the big airlines do a winter operations with non-precisions into fields like Carcasonne, Bergerac, Larochelle, Gothenburg etc...

Get in as a cadet. Get your hours. Get out.
if you don't fall into that category, Ryanair is not a good option for you.
