''because I canīt imagine why else you would reply in a RYR-topic?''

I can imagine why (speaking as a non RYR pilot). It's because Ryanair have degraded pilots terms and conditions more than any other airline to the extent they have had an effect on the whole industry. We have all been affected by this and the lifestyle we once enjoyed will never return. Of course you may not see it that way because you are probably one of the new breed of pilot who thinks it's normal to pay for their own rating, line training, uniform, accomodation, car parking, in flight food and company ID. And also effectively be employed as a part time contractor and end up unemployed over winter.

But not so many years ago, it wasn't like that. And although you're excited now to be flying a jet, I can guarentee the gloss will wear off far faster under the modern airline employment practices. I too look forward to your reply in three years!
