You paid for a licence during the biggest global financial collapse that we may ever be likely to witness. Ryanair will not finance your debt. Joining leaves you with completely different prospects than what you would have had even four years ago. You have heard the warnings and to be frank, do what you like. You will find next to nobody in FR will actually give a sh1t. If you've done the sums, banked on 600 hours per year, the very real prospect of living away from home, the opportunity to upgrade being much greater than 4 years then well done. As I've always said, it must work for you first and foremost. The training still remains good as does the experience and most generally the people you share the flightdeck with. When I joined it had a lot more running for it that just that. It's up to you. Do what you like, just don't complain 1 or 2 years down the line. No one will offer you any compassion whatsoever.
