A&C,
it's the first post of yours that I fully agree with, pay to fly kids are one of the main causes of this race to the bottom.
No I did not pay for any type rating nor am I paying any accountant I didn't chose nor am I buying uniforms from the approved tailor nor am I ever buying anything onboard nor ever talking anyone into flying with Ryanair....it's my little war against the system
captplaystation,
I know very well that NAS isn't a dream job and that the Ryanair methods are contagious (Easyjet flexicrew, NAS contractors,Wizzair dodgy contracts in Switzerland, Volotea FR alikes.....) but at least ,in the LGW case, they are recruiting people giving them a fixed salary and paid leave which are unheard of in Ryanair.
The last CC hired through one of the FR scam companies are making 800€/month after paying 3000 for a course after which they can't even open the cockpit door....
