Yes, of course is better to stay at home with no job at all, paying 3000 every year to have your licenses current and getting old while slowly forggeting everything you have learned in your atpl, and applying to the hundreds of succesful airlines in europe hiring new low hour wanabes.
come on guys, have you forgoten what being unemployed is?, are you that blind? RYR is not expanding, you will fly 500h, so what, youŽll get 30K gross a year, instead of paying the debt in 3 years it will take 5 or 6 while you keep yourself current, flying a 737 and whatever good thing you want to make out of it. There are no options out there, not in europe and very little in asia or africa... and you suggest to wait and not apply to ryanair, sure you remember this sentence: "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."
