Well isn't this just f**king typical of our aviation/pilot recruitment industry at present - we've reached a point where we have to actually pay to get a job - I think its a f**king outrage and I wouldn't work for Ryanair if they were the last airline on earth!
Its the old case of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. Companies like Ryanair are just taking advantage of the unemployed. As if the cost of flight training isn't enough, now there charging folks without even the promise of a job. When is this madness in pilot recruiting going to end?????????????????????????
