The Ryanair 5 on / 3 off roster . . .
Most times I see PPRUNE I get a banner ad declaring a wonderful lifestyle at Ryanair . . . Excuse me being a cynical cove BUT are the patterns flown really 5 on / 3 off or is this just a recruiting ploy?
The advantages of a fixed roster must be huge. Being able to plan your lifestyle, no chocolate rostering, less politics and all the obvious.
Some questions for brother pilots at Ryanair:
1. Do you get similar complaints about fatigue as at easyjet and others?
2. Do the rosters get disrupted?
3. Are the earlies really early and the lates really late?
4. How many standby's are rostered
