Superpilot, I understand that you probably have spent a lot of money training and Ryanair might be your only option at the moment. Salaries are low and getting lower, you will not be flying the hours you might expect and you can be based at over 50 locations in Europe. However the most important thing for you to consider is expansion of the fleet ends in about 10 weeks time. That it! Over! From September to get command someone has to leave. FR themselves expect 150 captains to leave a year, it may not be that high. FR has about 1500 captains so if between 100 - 150 leave a year, that means you are looking at 10- 15 years to command - min.
You have seen previous posts tellling you about too many FO' s in the company. I believe that they are starting from September to do the same with Captains. From their point of view it costs them the same, same amount per hour. Costs the same to have one guy do 900 hours as to have 2 guys do 450 hours, who looses out? Excess Captains insures against any future flucations in man power. Flooding the market with guys desperate to get a job elsewhere drives down wages across the industry.
Can you live for the next 10-15 years on a FR FO salary? Can you repay your loans? And don't plan on getting a few thousand hours with FR and then moving on, while that is happening now there is no guarantee for the future. The industry is moving towards hiring zero time jet hour pilots so in a few years you might be stuck in FR.
For now terms and conditions within the industry and particularly in FR are on a downward spiral. To all of you thinking of joining FR - please think very very carefully, there might be no going back.
