I'm hoping everyone thinks carefully about this lot vis a vis the hidden costs...... Accomodation is your own problem - which of course is the case for most of us anyhow but here you are likely to be moving around quite a bit (OK if you have a very fast caravan). Divide the cost of your LPC over the period and you're down a further £120 odd per month. Believe the cost of travelling to/from base might be your problem, medicals - your problem, loss of licence, pension contributions, cabs to/from airport, phone calls home etc etc etc........
My advice - you wanna work for the Ryans - go direct and at least get some of the benefits of working for the organisation.
Oh and It's Storm for those who are interested.....
Oh and be sure you get a guaranteed minimum on the flying hours since if I were in Crewing at Ryanair I'd be pushing the Full time guys as opposed to the contractors - this being simple economics (rhymes almost with comics).
Good luck to all in the boat anyhow!
