RAT 5
You are confusing Ryanair pilots with Brookfield or other contract pilots that fly for Ryanair and there is a huge difference.
Ryanair UK pilots receive sick pay, holiday pay, sector pay on holiday days and have pension contributions matched by the company up to £5000 per year.
We also get £5000 a year for incidental expenses - parking, uniform cleaning etc and do not have to pay for the sim.
This is vastly different to the contract pilots who only receive payment per flying hour.
