truckflyer, while I do appreciate your polite tone I'm afraid I can't agree with you because life in Ryanair simply isn't good.
The figure of 3300 i mentioned was NET of taxes and with a 80% income retention (which I was never close to) this gives 650 flying hours in a year. The hours are going down for FOs but this is not the issue here really.
We can claim "legal" expenses but the problem is that the pilots are not self employed by legal definition and the majority of us have been forced into this pseudo-legal arrangement against our will.
Ryanair simply does not compare to SAS if you are an 20 something year old FO.
I could add to the list in my last post of miserable conditions we have to endure but i think everybody get's the point anyway.
The people who really enjoy working in Ryanair do so at their colleagues expense.
If any poor FOs with Irish limited companies who are based in Bari against their will really enjoys it and finds it acceptable I can only say congratulations and all the best.
