Well said flyfr, I would love to go fly for BA but the wages for mixed fleet would mean me taking a pay cut. Ryanair has looked after me well so far, good staff travel, blue tickets aswell. I have crew moaning about being sacked, but then you ask why, oh I only had 3 sick days, a few lates no shows, bad grooming . . . . For those of us in the company, we all know some crew who have done really well and worked up the ladder fast.
I have just had several new crew come for sny flights, and i told them the same as what my trainner told me years ago, 'come in, do your job well, and do what your asked to do, and you wont have any problems'. I was lucky and after 6 months I was given a Ryanair contract.
Can I just add, about paying for the trainning, over a year you are given a new joiners bonus of £1000, which will go towards paying for it. Plus after a year your given £20 per month to the up keep on your uniform.
