I see the type rating is 6 weeks - is it after that that you earna wage from them, and how much??
After the type rating you will be rostered for base training, which is when you and a number of other cadets practice landings in a Boeing 737 up at Nottingham. It may take 2-3 weeks for this to be scheduled and completed due to a lack of available aircraft and suitable weather. Or it could happen within days of finishing the type rating.

After base training you'll find out your line training base. You may have to wait a week or two before you start flying. Then you have 25 or so sectors unpaid training because you will have a safety pilot sitting behind you monitoring and making sure you and the Captain don't screw up. You can expect to have a safety pilot for about 2 weeks, possibly longer if your roster is fairly empty - this could happen if your base only has one line training captain.

Once you're safety pilot released you'll start earning money, but won't get paid until midway through the next month.

So, basically, you won't get a cent from Ryanair until at least 2 months after you complete your type rating. And then it's 35.5e an hour.




Edited to correct a typo regarding levels of pay!
