Ryan Air's Pilot Games
I read the question and the several replies with amusement. It seems that Ryan will spare no expense to base pilots for the airline's convenience, requires most of them to 'purchase' their own document collections, licenses (A not inconsiderable expense!) and continues to pay them a pittance and otherwise make their lives uncomfortable. As only an observer (non-participant) in the international permit and license games, I truly do not understand how Ryan Air gets away with it, somehow managing to find the steady string of (Ho-Hum) qualified pilots to fill their needs. I Do Not understand their pilot personnel policies . Why an otherwise qualified pilot wold want to work for them is beyond my understanding . Best wishes to those who pursue this course, and I hope that you do so with the blinders off . If not, that fellow will abuse you and you will soon wonder how you into such a mess Then what ?
