job choice

congrats on the job.

it depends on what you want.
i know 12 ryanair pilots all in their 20s, and all say the same thing that they will do 5 years which will see them get 5000hrs 3000 of which will be command and then try and get a job with a major carrier. they all say they get treated very badly by the company but it is paid well £3000ish a month take home and they are home every night but it is very hard work. the roster is 5 on 3 off and that is set in stone.
personaly i would take qatar and get wide body experience with all the perks of a major whilst being only 6 hours from london which is nothing.
if you dont like it you will be even more employable but you would have to speak to someone who flies for them. plus emirates isnt far from doha.
one of our cabin crew used to work for qatar and she enjoyed it.
if you go with ryan you will only see !!!!ty airports for half an hour at a time go with qatar and you will nightstop in great cities with lots of girls
