Most people with low hours complaining about Ryanair, do it because of envy, either they have not been selected or they don't have the funds to pay for their TR.
I have personally never been a great fan of the airline, however to be honest, if given the chance I would take it would open arms, rather that then be a bitter hypocrite on these forums!
I believe most of you low hour guys, even being negative, if you had been selected or had the money you would have taken the job too!
For what your morales and ethics are worth, I would say who cares, in today's market a job is a job, and very unlikely you will get better start then with Ryanair!
I know of FIC's with close to 2000 hours, working full time, but stuck, because they don't have money to renew their IR!
For every pilot who preaches about their high morale standards, there is an equal opposite pilot looking to give young pilot's dreams and scam them of their hard earned cash, with promises of assessments, TR's and line training, which will lead to nothing else then massive debts.
At least Ryanair offers and option to avoid those vultures standing on every corner waiting for their prey.
Unfortunately some of you guys now sitting cosy in your LH or RH seat, after several years, have not been able to see what has happen with your companies.
Nearly nobody want to pay for your TR any-more, it is now widely expected that nearly everyone pays for their own TR, now even without a proper job contract/offer!
You can come with silly phrases about smelling the coffee, however I know of FO's at RYR taking home 3 times what an FI does! Not only that, after 3 - 4 years they either get command or go to much better companies, and do you know what? The major companies love to hire them, because they have received good training by Ryanair.
I know of 15 - 20 pilots just now recently going to Norwegian from RYR. Plenty gone to BA too, so what's the issue!
I could be bitter and say it all sucks, because I don't get an interview, I rather say good luck to you guys who got the chance, there is no better option around today for low hour pilots to get into the big league this fast, and that's all thanks to RYR.
BA did similar in the past, but they was just much more selective in the start, because they was paying for your training. However imagine at RYR, you can leave when you want, no long bonding times! They give you freedom to choose, if you choose other career like working in Tesco's instead of accepting working for RYR, you are the fool, not them!
