If management want to stem the tide.
Keep 5/4, it is on the Ryanair website as a recruitment tool so they know its a valuable style of roster that allows people to commute and have a reasonable life.
5/3 is very difficult to work with re commuting resulting in one day at home before launching off again.
Stop pretending that FR is well paid it aint, if you look at any other decent airline total packages, FR's is one of the worst paid gigs in the short haul jet market not to mention the good contracts on offer in the Mid and far East.
How about as already mentioned a transparent base transfer list.
We work hard, very hard we are very efficient pilots, a cursory glance at any airports CDA and tracking info will reveal that.
We have the lowest level bust rate in the industry. Yes good SOP's but good pilots too. we run a fuel league which is not really a safety tool and not all that fair but it can be assessed and judged that we try hard to do our bit.
I'm not a left wing nut looking for equal treatment with management, they make tough decisions and should, if successful be rewarded.
However we as pilots make tough decisions every day and are at the coal face doing it, not talking about doing it.
For any FR management bods reading consider below.
